The Dream Corps is:
a social justice accelerator [that] back[s] initiatives that close prison doors and open doors of opportunity for all.
Founded by Van Jones, -- activist, author, CNN contributor and a former special advisor to President Obama -- in 2014, the Dream Corps has so far operated three advocacy initiatives:
  • #cut50 works to popularize bipartisan alternatives and practical solutions to help America safely and smartly reduce its jail and prison populations by 50 percent over the next 10 years.
  • #YesWeCode works to help 100,000 young women and men of diverse backgrounds find success in the tech sector.
  • Green For All works to build an inclusive green economy by moving $1 trillion dollars from polluters pockets into low-income communities.

    The Dream Corps is now launching the #LoveArmy:
    In the coming year, we will be coordinating regular actions and bringing people together in large and small gatherings. We will support #MessyTruth conversations. We will host teach-ins and revivals. We'll come together to fight for an inclusive country where everyone counts and everyone matters.
    While they've not released much in the way of specifics, you can sign up for more information and to volunteer.
