Green for All presents:
The Dream Reborn
www.dreamreborn.org
Memphis, April 4th-6th
Join us in Memphis to
commemorate Dr. King Jr. on the 40th anniversary of his assassination,
and to hear positive solutions from today's generation of visionary
leaders. The Dream Reborn will be a forum for learning about the new
green economy and the opportunity it provides to fulfill Dr. King's
dream of racial and economic equality and justice. The conference will bring together the practitioners of the new green economy,
to strengthen our work for ecological solutions that can heal the Earth
while bringing jobs, justice, wealth and health to people most in need.
Together, we will build a movement for a green economy that is healthy,
sustainable, and strong enough to lift people out of poverty.
We
will hear from Van Jones (Ella Baker Center/Green For All), Majora
Carter (Sustainable South Bronx), LaDonna Redmond (Institute for
Community Resource Development), Mary Anne Hitt (Appalachian Voices),
Reverend Yearwood (Hip Hop Caucus), Adrienne Maree Brown (Ruckus
Society), Tony Anderson (Morehouse College President), Ian Kim (Oakland
Green Jobs Corps), Rinku Sen (Applied Research Center), and many more.
Attendees will include: entrepreneurs of color promoting natural products, food justice growers and sellers, job training program coordinators, city officials implementing green policies, educators in community colleges working on green jobs curricula, policymakers advancing green jobs, and youth of color working for climate justice.
Please join us in Memphis, and reach out to those in your community who should also be there.
To ensure that the event brings together effected communities and
empowers people and organizations of color to spark the green jobs
wave, we are focusing our outreach on these communities. While all
people are welcome at this event, we especially want allies and friends
from communities of color to attend.
