Happy Black History Month! Dr. Robert Bullard is known as the Father of Environmental Justice for his pioneering work on mapping disproportionate landfill presence in Houston's black communities, which began in 1979. Often forgotten is the unnamed Matriarch of this work: (thread)
Congratulations to @AKULAR_AR and @FrontlineGig for winning the SmartCities Challenge Innovation Award. AED and the National Landing BID co-sponsored the award to recognize innovative technologies that could bolster NL into a premier Innovation District. https://t.co/7h3BoA8NNH
We think this program should exist in every city! The @CivicWorksInc Housing Upgrades to Benefit Seniors program employs local handypeople to make home improvements that set seniors up to age in place, within their own homes.

Our Invasive Plant Species Training was a grand success! Our team presented about native vs. invasive plant species, how to landscape each type of plant, and general tips for establishing one's self in the #landscaping profession. We finished with an epic weeding competition!
SAME DAY PAY! $34 for two hours of pleasant work that helps beautify a community resource. Join us next Monday! Contact [email protected] with any questions, or shoot us a DM.
Suburban flooding in the DC area is such a big deal, that governments like Fairfax are offering to split the bill of retention projects with residents. That could bring more #greenjobs to the area!
One of the benefits for Frontline Gig workers is getting outside for some fresh air and exercise. Too many jobs have us sitting or standing in the same place all day- and it's taking a toll on our health. Thanks to @American_Heart for sponsoring this holiday! #Walking#10kSteps
It's Frontline Gig's first Demo Day, where we'll show off the first app for green gig jobs. More importantly, we'll explain how this platform brings green economy opportunities to communities who need them the most.
Thanks @Techstars and @UpsurgeBMore for the constant support!
Frontline is all about the local: businesses and contractors hiring local gig workers to take care of their local communities. This hands-on, real life work will sustain our economies and our environment for generations to come.
#ShopLocal when you can.

Happy #WorldWaterDay! Water challenges vary by region: cleanliness, drought, and flooding; these challenges require specialized workforces to handle them.
Our platform allows workers to make quick cash, learn #greenskills, and help their communities and surrounding ecosystems.
Happy #Spring from Frontline Gig! Although the DMV is still having winter-like temperatures, the cherry blossoms are out and there's a warming in the air.
We'd be remiss to not remind you of this opportunity to turn down your thermostat and open your windows for some fresh air!

"By offering competitive compensation and investing in workers' abilities, staffing companies can build a staff of qualified professionals whose fungible skills allow them to provide professional services to various industries." - Writer @AlexAtwood
On this #InternationalWomensDay, we are proud to be led by two brilliant women: Kala Fleming and Erika Janifer. They are each accomplished scientists, leaders in engineering and business, and are putting their heads together to expand the green jobs workforce.

#GreenJobs Employers want:
- To fill labor gaps
- Trial period before hiring
- To be ready when they book more business
#GigWorkers want:
- Quick cash, same-day payment
- Flexible scheduling options
- Networking/training opportunities
Frontline is working to bridge the gaps.
On the final day of #BlackHistoryMonth, we are celebrating another superstar of our #BlackFuture: Donnel Baird, founder and CEO of @BlocPower - named @Time Magazine's Dreamer of the Year in 2022
We salute you Donnel, and the rest of the BlocPower team π π³
