Van Jones: Ecologically Sustainable, Spiritually Fulfilling, ...AND SOCIALLY JUST?Submitted Sat, 2008-01-19 17:35 — DavidM DVD Video Event with Van Jones A Social Justice Event: Sponsored by Sustainable Bellingham and co-sponsored by Bellingham Unitarian Fellowship, Bellingham Institute of Noetic Sciences; Whatcom Peace & Justice Center Tuesday, February 5, 2008 This may be the most important invitation you receive this year! * Van Jones' message reminds us of the priority concern: How can you have a sustainable community without having a sustainable social structure? - Lynnette A Our video presenter is Van Jones, social activist and President of the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights in Oakland CA. He holds a B.A. from the University of Tennessee at Martin (1990) and a J.D. from Yale Law School (1993). He is a Fellow of The Institute of Noetic Sciences. The Ella Baker Center is a strategy and action center working for justice, opportunity and peace in urban America. From the New York Times article: Van Jones: The Green Collar Solution: "Mr. Jones, who heads the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights in Oakland, which helps kids avoid jail and secure jobs, has an idea how to change that — a “green-collar” jobs program that focuses on underprivileged youth. I would not underestimate him. Mr. Jones, age 39 and a Yale Law School grad, exudes enough energy to light a few buildings on his own." --We are inviting local leaders of organizations working for social justice and their guests, and engaged citizens working for social justice. Here in Bellingham, we will view the DVD of Van Jones' June 2007 presentation on Environmental Sustainability and Social Justice given to Awakening the Dreamer, Changing the Dream Symposium facilitators. The purpose of the Symposium is that participants leave "committed and empowered to bring forth an environmentally sustainable, spiritually fulfilling and socially just human presence on the planet."

Sustainable Orcas Island MeetingSubmitted Fri, 2008-01-25 18:06 — pheikki I’ve scheduled our library meeting room for Feb 5 from 3:30 to 5:30 to talk more about specific ideas. We’ll also be setting up various smaller groups to work on their own schedules as works best for people geographically, etc. Also, some facilitation to make sure we get everything out that we want to focus on. Please continue to send me your ideas for the next meeting and otherwise. At some point we’ll transition into a system that works better for fluid exchange of ideas, etc., rather than the bottleneck of my email list. Thanks!
