VAN JONES, Founder of the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights,
and former Advisor to President Obama. Jones broke new ground with
his proposal for a green-collar economy, stating that, "the time
has come to move beyond eco-elitism to eco-populism." He fights for
environmental justice and to create an economy that is both
sustainable and that lifts up the poorest communities through
green-collar jobs. Jones describes how the third wave of
environmentalism, the investment wave, could solve inequality and
catastrophe with a "Green New Deal" mindset. As presented to
the Commonwealth Club of California.
