National Petiton to Re-establish  the United States Civilian Conservation Corps

 

Dear President of the United States

 

We the undersigned Citizens of the United States URGE you, our President, to shepherd through Congress   

HR 494 the 21st Century Civilian Conservation Corps Act or sign an executive order to re-establish

the United States Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC).  From 1933 to 1942, the twentieth Century CCC

created the largest civilian mobilization and was the most successful federal work program in US history. 

The CCC still is 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 provide actual green job training, job creation and national service for future generations.
