Van Jones will be featured at EcoFair Marin as the keynote speaker. Point Reyes Books is a supporter of the event and will offering Van's book for sale and signing at Chelsea Green Publishing booth (iLearn #1).

As an advisor to the Obama White House, he helped run the inter-agency process that oversaw $80 billion in green energy recovery spending. A Yale Law School graduate, he has a 20-year track record as a successful, innovative and award-winning social entrepreneur. He is a co-founder of three other thriving nonprofit organizations: the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, Color of Change, and Green For All.

Van’s book, Rebuild the Dream, explores seven major missteps made by the White House and its supporters after Obama’s 2008 victory. He also lays out a game plan for turning anger into action, protest into power and suffering into solutions—so that our economy can respect the 99% and work for the 100%, not just the top 1%.

Van is on the board of Demos and the Natural Resources Defense Council. He is currently a Visiting Fellow in Collaborative Economics at Presidio Graduate School in San Francisco.
