National Petition for the Re-establishment of the US Civilian Conservation
Corps
We the undersigned Citizens of the United States strongly
urge our US Representative to co-sponsor HR 494
the
21st Century Civilian Conservation Corps Act to re-establish the United States Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC).
From 1933 to 1942, the CCC was the biggest and most successful
federal work program in history, and the government’s
most lasting environmental effort as well. The CCC demonstrated that there was absolutely no
conflict between the
preservation
of the environment and the creation of jobs! The CCC will now include women, provide work, remedial
and vocational training for unemployed and unskilled single
young men and war veterans through conserving and
developing
the country's natural resources! This public sector, shovel-ready program, will be a national service that
will provide actual green job training and job experience
for generations. They would labor on our vast public lands
and waterways. The enrollees would perform constructive work, receive a living wage, and
earn the GI Bill
for their National
Service.
TAKE ACTION !
