Evergreen Action Launches First Video In New Program That Highlights Climate & Clean Energy Impacts Within U.S. Communities
Today, Evergreen Action is releasing “The Model,” which shares the story of Akinlana Abdalla (or ‘AK’ as he is known around his shop), a wind turbine repair specialist with Ingeteam, Inc., where he helps train the incoming wave of union workers who will build our clean energy future. AK grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a city known for its manufacturing roots but hit hard by deindustrialization. Thanks to a surge in federal clean energy investments through the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), as well as the leadership of Governor Evers, good-paying union jobs are heading back into Rust Belt cities like Milwaukee.
