Markese Bryant (aka Doo Dat), born and raised in East Oakland, knows firsthand the effects of pollution and poverty in local communities of color. Now he’s a leader in the movement to build an inclusive green economy through campus organizing and community education. His new video, produced and released by Green for All, explains how this growing movement is creating potential opportunities for communities of color nationwide.

In conjunction with the video, Green For All is launching a month-long contest to showcase the video or song that best shows inspiring examples of how the green economy can transform people’s lives. The competition will be decided by user submitted votes. The deadline for submissions is February 8, 2010. The grand prize winner will receive $1,000.

A national organization working to build an inclusive green economy strong enough to lift people out of poverty, Green for All offers a range of ways to participate in the quest for a green economy.

Can we count on you?

In the coming election, the fate of our democracy and fundamental civil rights are on the ballot. The conservative architects of Project 2025 are scheming to institutionalize Donald Trump’s authoritarian vision across all levels of government if he should win.

We’ve already seen events that fill us with both dread and cautious optimism—throughout it all, The Nation has been a bulwark against misinformation and an advocate for bold, principled perspectives. Our dedicated writers have sat down with Kamala Harris and Bernie Sanders for interviews, unpacked the shallow right-wing populist appeals of J.D. Vance, and debated the pathway for a Democratic victory in November.

Stories like these and the one you just read are vital at this critical juncture in our country’s history. Now more than ever, we need clear-eyed and deeply reported independent journalism to make sense of the headlines and sort fact from fiction. Donate today and join our 160-year legacy of speaking truth to power and uplifting the voices of grassroots advocates.

Throughout 2024 and what is likely the defining election of our lifetimes, we need your support to continue publishing the insightful journalism you rely on.

Thank you,
The Editors of The Nation
