and creating millions of new jobs for Americans.
Van is the founder of Green For All, a national organization
dedicated to building an inclusive green economy strong enough to lift people
out of poverty.
Launched at the Clinton Global Initiative in 2007, Green For All grew out of
Van's work creating a 'Green Job Corp' in Oakland, California, as part of a
program at the Ella Baker Center for Human
Rights. Van founded the Center in 1996, which promotes
alternatives to violence and incarceration, including its successful "Books Not

Monday 06-09-2008 1:24pm PT
The Mayor of San Francisco joins a very elite group of big-city
politicians who will host their own solo weekly talk/interview program.
Green 960 Program Director John Scott says "We're really excited about
this, and we jumped at the opportunity. Most programs of this type are normally
done as part of an existing show, with a regular host. This is Gavin Newsom, on
his own, no rules, his passions and his interests. He'll be doing interviews
from across the country (when he's traveling) as well. It's going to be a great
way for him to engage with his constituents and fans. The test shows we've
already done have been really compelling!"
The show will feature interviews with local personalities, newsmakers, and
cultural icons, in a relaxed, intimate conversational format; and live phone
calls as well.
This will be a local broadcast, from the Green
960 studios in San Francisco, and it will be available nationwide through
our streaming and podcast directory.
