Van Jones comes to UCSD! Tues 11 May, 7pm//PC West Ballroom

[SSC UCSD]

The SSC is proud to participate in the Helen Edison Lecture Series’ lecture with Van Jones.

The event will be 7pm onwards at Price Center West Ballroom on Tuesday 11 May. Free and open to the public - no tickets or reservations required!

=======================
Dubbed by some as the father of the green jobs movement, Jones wrote the national bestseller “The Green Collar Economy,” which provides a definitive blueprint for re-tooling American industry to create pathways out of poverty and generate national economic recovery.
“Van Jones is quite simply one of the few Americans in recent years to have generated powerful new ideas that are creating more jobs,” says Benjamin Todd Jealous, president and CEO of the NAACP, which awarded Jones the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People 2010 President’s Award.
Jones presents the greening of America as both a moral imperative and a nuts and bolts economics issue. An American environmental advocate, civil rights activist, and attorney, he formerly served as special advisor for green jobs for the White House Council on Environmental Quality, and is currently a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress and senior policy advisor at Green For All.
