Students, policymakers, organizers, entrepreneurs, people of faith, workers, educators, and everyday dreamers and doers will come together on the 40th Anniversary of Dr. King’s assassination. Together, we will celebrate his extraordinary life and create ecological solutions to heal the Earth while bringing jobs, justice, wealth and health to all people.

To ensure that this movement is created by those it will serve, we are focusing our outreach in communities of color and with organizations creating green job opportunities for those most in need.
