WE HIT OUR GOAL - 1000 people registered for The Dream Reborn

We said we could do it , and we did. One thousand people from every
corner of the nation will be joining together in Memphis to transform
their communities and bring new hope to the planet.

Now we have the wonderful problem of a whole bunch of people who will
hear Van Jones on TV, who didn't register before now, who read about
it in the Memphis press and won't be able to come...but the people who
are coming will come back to their communities all tooled up and
inspired to share the dream...reborn.

We will make history in Memphis in a truly unprecedented gathering of
over 70% people of color and working folks who are the leaders of this
new movement for a green and fair economy for all. Many of the people
coming we have only heard rumor of their inspiring work, others we
will be meeting for the first time, while many will be reuniting with
new shared visions.

We set out to join the various sectors of the green jobs/eco-equity
movement in order to strengthen our ties, to leverage our work in our
communities, to launch Green For All in a way which includes those that
need be at the center of this movement, to hold up the new
visionaries, while honoring Dr. King and our Civil Rights heroes, and
activate  people with new skills to bring home.

People across the country from Alaska to Florida, from Texas to New
York are moving their whole lives around to get themselves to
Memphis...calling babysitters, getting subs at their work, getting
their homework done early, and moving mountains to come to The Dream
Reborn. Why? Because, these are the people who carry hope and passion
for the future. It is up to all of us birth to the new dream for the
generations to come. No one else will do it for us. What better time
to fully honor the legacy left by Dr. King, and lead this country into
a new era of peace, justice and well-being for everyone!

The name Memphis comes from a city in ancient Egypt. Memphis was also
known as Ankh Tawy meaning "That which binds the Two Lands."

Let us bind our stories, our dreams, our skills and that which is most
powerful about each one of us to defy the nightmare of poverty and
ecological disaster, and build the world we collectively dream of...

Thank you for all of your support making it happen.

Memphis...here we come!
