Van Jones: Green Collar Economy

If this economic slump doesn’t have you championing economic reform yet, then Van’s new book: The Green Collar Economy: How One Solution Can Fix Our Two Biggest Problems will. Get into the mind and voice of Van Jones: Inimitable social justice activist, President of Green for All, and one of the most inspiring leaders of our generation. You can also help put the book on the “Best Seller’s” list if you order by Tuesday. But be prepared: Mine is on backorder. The publisher can’t print them fast enough! Check it out:

“We wish to follow up with you regarding your recent order with us. The Green Collar Economy was recently featured in the media and due to the popularity of this title our stock sold out over night. You had purchased online while our warehouse and Internet computers were in the process of updating to On Back Order compared to In Stock status with our web site and Internet e-commerce partners.”

So get your copy when you can and we’ll discuss and compare notes when we’ve all read it!

GREEN JOBS NOW: POWERSHIFT 07, Washington, D.C. photo by: Summer Rayne Oakes

As you all know, I try to update a new ACTION you can do every week under the new “CONNECT” > “Act” section of my website. This week I’ll be hopping on a “Green Jobs” Conference call this Thursday, August 28th at 1PM EST.

If you want to be “in the know” about the latest happenings on the green-collar jobs front and the upcoming National Day of Action, hop on the horn and REGISTER so we all know how many peeps we got ringing in and from where.

The GREEN JOBS NATIONAL DAY OF ACTION is 9.27.08. I’ll be deep in the heart of Mozambique during the time, so maybe I’ll do a satellite broadcast out in Mozambique to show some support and to bridge that connection with our brothers and sisters in other parts of the world.
