The Dream Corps is a social justice accelerator that was founded by Van Jones in 2014. He is the keynote speaker at the Midwest Regional Sustainability Summit held in June in Cincinnati. Their slogan is “21st-century jobs, not jail,” as they attempt to close prison doors and open doors of opportunity for all. They support economic, environmental, and criminal justice leaders so they are able to tackle America’s social justice challenges. Their main goal is to teach people to turn to each other instead of on each other. Their initiatives include #YESWECODE, #CUT50, and Green for All. To read more about The Dream Corps, click here.
