Congress just passed the FINAL version of the economic recovery bill. And guess what?

$500 million for green jobs training is included in the package!

This is a huge victory. And together, we've been fighting for it for more than a year.

The Green Jobs Act was signed into law in December 2007. Since then, we've fought time and again to secure federal funding for green jobs training.

In September, tens of thousands of us rallied across the country for Green Jobs Now. And in the past few months, you all made more than 300 phone calls and sent more than 30,000 emails to Congress.

So, tonight - celebrate! Feel the love on Saturday. Get some rest on Sunday.

And when our President Barack Obama picks up his pen on Monday, know that your action shaped what he signs: the biggest federal investment in our economy since World War II.

Thanks to our collective efforts, this recovery package will make a significant investment in people and the planet.

What's next?

Now, we make sure this $500 million gets spent the right way.

Our job is to make this legislative victory translate into real change in our communities. And we'll work closely with you to get the job done.
