Brown Green Movement

response to  Maywa Montenegro's post Black and Green

This is a great story about a very inspirational man. At our Casa de la Raza Center we have a long history of standing up for the rights of Latino workers and environmentalism at the same time. We have a "Green Gardener" program, which teaches the techniques of green gardeing and makes the services of the gardeners who take the classes more marketable. Another program my friend started there is a self-sustaining bike repair center at for people who use it as their main source of transportation. That program is really thriving. Our center is in the industrial area of town and the environmental issues there have a big impact on the health of the people who live and work here, so I really appreciate the work of people like Jones, and groups like GOOD who promote what he and the Ella Baker Center are doing. Thanks guy!
