Van Jones, one of the co-founders of ColorOfChange.org, has embarked upon an important new effort that connects the wave of interest in preventing the destruction of our planet to creating opportunity for low-income communities of color . It's called Green for All. If you've heard the term "green collar job," then you've gotten a taste of what Green for All is about.
On April 4-6 in Memphis, TN, Green for All will hold its first public gathering called "The Dream Reborn." It's a chance to learn more about Green for All's vision for a "green economy strong enough to lift people out of poverty," and hear from leading practitioners in the green jobs movement.
Learn more about this important gathering and register today, here:

Also, the early registration and scholarship deadline is this Friday, March 14th. So please act now if you're interested!
Thank You and Peace,
