Dream Reborn Conference: Lifting up the Green Economy
Green For All (a national nonprofit organization recently founded by Van Jones, formerly of the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights) is bringing organizations and leaders from communities across the nation together for The Dream Reborn conference in Memphis, April 4-6. Green for All has a simple but ambitious mission: to help build a green economy strong enough to lift people out of poverty.
On the 40th Anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assassination, this historic event will celebrate his extraordinary life and present positive solutions from today's generation of visionary leaders. Co-sponsors and featured presenters include Urban Habitat.
