Keep the Dream Alive! Connect on WiserEarth

Posted by Josh Lynch on April 10th, 2008

Dear allies,

The Dream Reborn was a historic success! Over 1,000 practitioners, visionaries, and youth from all over the United States came together to honor Dr. King's legacy and celebrate young leaders of today and tomorrow. We came away inspired, invigorated, and infused with tips and tools for taking the movement for an inclusive green economy back to our communities. In this effort, we know that the best tool we all have is each other.

To that end, we are looking forward to including all of you as exhibitors, speakers, and participants of the Dream Reborn event in a new online community. Your missions, projects, and campaigns will bring enormous value to the event, as they will provide people with tangible, direct ways they can plug into this work over the long term.

We have partnered with WiserEarth create a unique online community space for our event. WiserEarth is an international directory and networking forum that maps, links and empowers the sustainability and social justice community. It also provides a Group functionality, where initiatives such as the Dream Reborn can organize and create "buzz" around events or campaigns. Our Group is meant to be a virtual "landing page" that will point people to your work before and after the event itself.

We invite you to join the Dream Reborn group on WiserEarth and update your organizational information so our viewers can learn about your work. We also encourage you to add any relevant background information, like resources, events, job postings, files etc relating to your work. Remember, this is a way to encourage people to visit you at the event, as well as an opportunity to expand your support base, and educate the global WiserEarth community about your work.
