For those of us who could not be at the conference this weekend, but are still itching to hear about it...please leave a note, a message, or even a pontificating rant about the conference.

The conference was incredible! So much energy. Having on the 40th Anniversary of Dr. King's assassination the town where he spoke his last words added a lot. People left the conference ready to take on the world. I know I haven't been to another conference that was 70% people of color with incredible geographic and age diversity focused on green initiatives. A team of us (with a lot of allies and volunteers pitching in) worked very hard at Green For All to pull it off and we could never have imagined the enthusiasm, trust, and commitment showed in Memphis by everyone who came. My hope is that this will serve as a turning point in the environmental movement toward taking real leadership from low-income communities of color and engaging the grassroots where they are at.
