A month-long tour dedicated to promoting job creation through environmental sustainability will land in Pittsburgh Sept. 23 -- the day before the G-20 summit begins -- closing its campaign with a rally and concert in Point State Park.

The Made in America Jobs Tour has held more than 50 events in 22 states, preaching a transition to clean energy that could simultaneously create jobs, reduce pollution and curb dependence on foreign oil.

Doors open at 5:30, and the free program, which includes speakers and a concert with Kathy Mattea and Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, begins at 7:30.

Speakers at the event include state Sen. Jim Ferlo, Sierra Club Executive Director Carl Pope and AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, among others. The Pittsburgh Gospel Choir, Da Flow Band and Big Head Todd and the Monsters will also perform at the concert.

The tour is sponsored by the Alliance for Climate Protection, the United Steelworkers and the Blue Green Alliance, a coalition of labor unions and environmental organizations.
