Dream Reborn – The Video « It’s Getting Hot In Here

Green For All has just produced a new video with Van Jones and leaders in the new eco-equity movement about what you’ll find in Memphis at the Dream Reborn April 4th-6th. Check it out!

The Dream Reborn will be a historic gathering of visionaries from low-income communities and communities of color who are working to build a green economy strong enough to lift people out of poverty. The conference takes place on the 40th anniversary of Dr. King’s assassination and will honor his legacy while celebrating new visionaries for green pathways to prosperity. The impressive list of speakers will include Van Jones, Majora Carter, Paul Hawken, Winona La Duke, D’Army Bailey, Afeni Shakur, Robert Bullard, Jerome Ringo, Rinku Sen, and many others.

I’m pumped for this conference, and I’m definitely gonna try to make it. Not just cause all the speakers rock, but because its gonna feature Adi Nochur, a true leader of the youth climate movement and now a powerhouse with OneSky.

BTW – there is a serious lack of commenting on this blog, as well as crossposting. I know the posters, my self included, are pretty genius, but it would be good to hear people’s comments and pull some knowledge from other people’s writings too.
