Tennessee Alliance for Progress (TAP) is an eight-year old think and act tank whose mission is to create healthy families and communities
in Tennessee and whose motto is "We're All In This Together." TAP is
a key organizer of the Green-Collar Jobs Task Force of Nashville/ Davidson County and the Committee for Green Jobs in Tennessee (www.greenjobstn.ning.com ). We are working to create a Green Jobs Corps locally and statewide that will provide people with barriers to employment with family- supporting, career track jobs that directly contribute to preserving
or enhancing environmental quality. We seek to fight poverty and
pollution simultaneously by connecting the people who need work the most to the work that most needs doing and thus providing green
pathways out of poverty. www.tennesseeallianceforprogress.org
