Founded in 2011 by Van Jones, Natalie Foster, and Billy Wimsatt, Rebuild The Dream is fighting for an economy that works for everyone — an America that delivers on its promise of opportunity for all.
Our federal and state level advocacy protects our longstanding goals and creates systemic change at every level of government. We have an unprecedented track record in bipartisan advocacy that has led to durable reforms that withstand political pressure. We are also one of the largest organizations uplifting the leadership of those directly impacted by the criminal justice system or from communities most impacted by pollution.
Rebuild the Dream grew out of a belief in the power of building alliances and finding solutions. Whether caused by mass incarceration, technological change, economic inequality, and the climate crisis, the status quo brings disproportionate levels of harm to Black, Brown and system impacted communities. We’ve since scaled our bipartisan, bridge building model to support passage of significant legislation at the state and federal level, and added advocating for equitable clean energy and climate change policies into our portfolio.
Our Mission
Rebuild the Dream works to close prison doors and open doors of opportunity into the green economy.
