Description

In this episode: Emily’s conversation with CNN host and green-jobs pioneer Van Jones.Van may be best known for “The Van Jones Show” and “The Redemption Project,” which both air on CNN. He is also the author of three best-selling books, including “The Green Collar Economy.”But long before his high-profile career, Van was a powerful voice for bringing clean energy jobs to black and brown communities. He helped spearhead the Green Jobs Act of 2007, the first time the country deliberately trained workers for the future clean economy. This conversation was recorded in front of a remote live audience in the fall of 2020.We’re brought to you by Google.
