DESCRIPTION:A Yale Law School graduate, and former Special Advisor to the Obama White 
 House, Van Jones is president and founder of Rebuild the Dream, a 
 pioneering initiative to restore good jobs and economic opportunity.  The 
 co-founder of three thriving nonprofit organizations (the Ella Baker Center 
 for Human Rights, Color of Change, and Green For All), Van is also the 
 author of the New York Times' bestselling The Green Collar Economy - the 
 definitive book on green jobs.  The World Economic Forum named Van a Young 
 Global Leader in 2005. In 2008 Time Magazine described him as a global 
 environmental hero, and in 2009 called him 'one of the 100 most influential 
 people in the world.' \n\nThe first Obama administration official to write 
 a book on his experiences, Van offers a unique perspective. He unveils the 
 seven biggest mistakes made by the White House and its supporters, and he 
 systematically reveals surprising parallels between Obama's people-powered 
 campaign, the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street. With the vaunted American 
 Dream rapidly becoming a delusion, tens of millions of willing workers 
 unable to find jobs, millions of homeowners already having lost their homes 
 to foreclosure, and millions more underwater, our politicians merely 
 continue giving tax breaks to the rich and slashing vital services. 
 Workers' rights are being gutted and public unions are under siege. 
 Countering this, Rebuild the Dream is a new movement growing across America 
 and getting stronger by the day as millions stand up to defy right-wing 
 attacks on the working class and the vanishing middle class. \n\nAimee 
 Allison is co-Executive Director of RootsAction. \n\nHosted by Aimee
