The event will run from 1 to 4 p.m. at Saint Paul College, 235 Marshall Ave. Featured speakers will include Jim Hightower, national radio commentator and writer, and Leo Gerard, president of the United Steelworkers union.
Participants in the rally plan to form the largest human wind turbine ever in Minnesota, organizers said. The event will also feature music and information on jobs in the growing area of renewable energy.
The rally is part of the Green Jobs for America campaign, a national effort of the Sierra Club, United Steelworkers, Blue Green Alliance, Green for All, Natural Resources Defense Council and Working America. The campaign urges elected officials to reinvigorate the economy by making investments in clean, renewable energy a priority.
