Working for more
than 20 years to alleviate the suffering of Oakland’s poor and marginalized
youth Van Jones discovered what he hopes to be a solution. With the soaring
demand for skilled labor in the “Green Energy” sector and
scores of out of work residents Van launched a Green Jobs Campaign. Established
in 2007 this campaign quickly gained local and national attention. With
a new mayor committed to making Oakland a model “Green” city,
2008 will see the birth of the Oakland Green Job Corp. |
