 So I'm Jeff Leifer and I know we want to get right to Van so I'm going to be as quick as possible. This year I talked to Van and I said listen I know we were going to sit down and chat but would you mind coming out and just talking for a while just sharing what's going on because there's some really exciting new things that he's up to and I think it will come out more clearly if he just speaks and then we'll take some questions. So let me let me give you a little bit of background for those of you not familiar with our local celebrated hero. So Van is a pioneering social innovator and strategist. He was named one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people in the world. He's the president and co-founder of Rebuild the Dream, a platform for bottom-up people-powered innovations to fix the U.S. economy. He went to the Yale Law School and he's written two New York Times bestsellers, the Green Collar Economy which is about green jobs and Rebuild the Dream, a roadmap for progressive action in 2012 and beyond and that book Rebuild the Dream is available in our main pavilion over here. It's an excellent read. Van has helped to catalyze systemic change at multiple leverage points in the U.S. economy including the prison industry, the green energy movement, job creation, sustainability, all across the spectrum. Most excitingly what I want to announce tonight for those who don't know is that tonight is Van's first public appearance since becoming the co-host along with Newt Gingrich of CNN's relaunch of the program Crossfire. Super exciting that this is his premiere coming out since joining CNN and I know from talking to Van that he'd probably prefer if the program were called Seizefire instead of Crossfire. I just want to say it's an honor to welcome a true change-maker and I know the SoCAP community really shares values with with Van Jones and so it's just I'm grateful to have him here and I'm grateful for the welcome that all of us have have put out to him and made this possible.
