In early 2008 MDS board members Barbara Ehrenreich and Bill Fletcher Jr. (both Democratic Socialists of America members), Tom Hayden (former leader of SDS) and Carl Davidson established Progressives for Obama to rally far left support behind the Obama campaign. Mark Rudd has endorsed the organization.
MDS/Progressives for Obama has taken a strong interest in who gets appointed to the Obama administration.
But Green Collar Economy’s core mass base remains a united Black and Latino community in close alliance with organized labor, the same engine of change that put Obama in the White House. And by asserting the interests and needs of that base, the green jobs and infrastructure proposals in Obama’s stimulus package serve to drive the entire recovery effort in a progressive direction.
Davidson also promoted Van Jones’ vision at the Democratic Socialists of America run April 2009 Left Forum at Pace University in New York.
I had to quickly get to the next panel, since I was on it, and there was only about five minutes between sessions. “Building a Progressive Majority and Advancing a Vision of Socialism” was the title, and it was pulled together by my group, Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism, and chaired by Pat Fry, an SEIU staffer.
I led off by presenting Van Jones’s program for Green Jobs for inner city youth, but framing it as a larger structural reform project that could, if done right, unite a progressive majority and help get us out of the current crisis. At the same time, we had to unite a militant minority around socialist tasks, so I offered the solidarity economy movement and its projects as practical examples of cooperative forms that could, within the capitalist present, point to a socialist future.
There you have it: sextegenarian Maoists, unfulfilled Weathermen, socialists and communists are pushing their agenda in the White House through a mouthpiece they have promoted and nurtured over many years.
“Green Jobs” is a cover for increased socialization of the US economy-driven by a man who only seven years ago was an ultra militant San Francisco street communist
The New York state Apollo Alliance Director is Jeff Jones.
Jeff Jones,Van Jones,Hampton,AYERS,DOHRN,these are WHAT—THEY are CLOSE FRIENDS of the OBAMANATION in the WHITE HOUSE—BOTH of them (First wifey).
Van Jones helped found Apollo and served on its board until recently-alongside Gerry Hudson of Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), former Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) supporter Carl Pope and Joel Rogers-founder of the radical New Party-which Barack Obama joined in Chicago in 1995.
Despite its power Apollo is a relatively small organization on the ground with only fourteen affiliates nationwide-one of them being Van Jones.
The Apollo Alliance is associated with George Soros and the Tides Foundation, which is tied to Theresa Kerry Heinz and John Kerry… and the connections just keep connecting….
Apollo is the organization that wrote the Stimulus Bill.
Cap and Trade is the massive tax program they need to advance their green (share the wealth agenda).
