The clean energy transition, often associated with the affluent, is fundamentally a civil rights issue. Communities of color disproportionately suffer from toxic pollution near factories and refineries, leading African Americans and Latinos to express greater concern about climate change than whites.

Despite this critical link, environmental movements frequently lack diversity and struggle to engage these communities. We delve into these challenges with hip hop artist and activist Mystic, civil rights hero Rev. Gerald Durley, and civil rights lawyer Ingrid Brostrom.

On September 21, 2009, President Barack Obama outlined his vision for innovation, growth, and quality jobs at Hudson Valley Community College in Troy, NY.

Obama clarified that the recovery plan was just a starting point, with the ultimate strategy focused on achieving sustained growth and widely shared prosperity. A key national goal was for the U.S. to lead the world in the proportion of college graduates by 2020.

On the 40th anniversary of the 'Blue Marble' photograph, Planetary Collective presents a short film.

On the 40th anniversary of the 'Blue Marble' photograph, Planetary Collective presents a short film. It documents astronauts' life-changing stories of seeing Earth from space—a perspective-altering experience known as the Overview Effect.

First described by Frank White in 1987, the Overview Effect transforms an astronaut's view of the planet and humanity's place. It commonly evokes awe for Earth, a profound understanding of life's interconnection, and a renewed sense of environmental responsibility.

This vital conversation, under the theme "Technology for the People, by the People," featured insights from U.S. CTO Megan Smith, FCC Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel, New America President Anne-Marie Slaughter, and Code for Progress Program Director Aliya Rahman. The panel also included Open Technology Institute's Georgia Bullen and was moderated by Alan Davidson.
