"You couldn't create a better advocate for the green-collar movement than Van Jones."-Bryan Walsh, Time Magazine "More than any other single figure, [Van Jones] has ushered the phrase 'green-collar jobs' into the political lexicon -- and economic reality." - Linda Baker, FastCompany.com Van Jones is founding president of Green For All and a senior fellow with the Center for American Progress. He is also the author of The Green Collar Economy (Harper One 2008), which is endorsed by Nancy Pelosi, Tom Daschle and Al Gore. Green For All is a U.S. organization that promotes green-collar jobs and opportunities for the disadvantaged. Its mission is to build an inclusive, green economy - strong enough to resolve the ecological crisis and lift millions of people out of poverty. A 1993 Yale Law graduate, Van is a husband and the father of two small boys. He is a tireless advocate, committed to creating "green pathways out of poverty" and greatly expanding the coalition fighting global warming. expand
