Blacks in Green? is the producer of The Manifesto. We?re a green-village-builder, a national network, one of America?s most diverse eco-orgs, and a thought leader in green community economic development for communities of color. Our vision is self-sustaining black communities everywhere and ?the city of villages? ? where every household can ?walk-to-work, walk-to-shop, walk-to-learn, walk-to-play.? We authored and teach a whole-system solution for the whole-system problems common to black communities everywhere, The 8 Principles of Green-Village-Building? and its precursor, Grannynomics.? From our foundation of research, strategic partners, students, and neighbors, we?ve advanced from theory to implementation in sustainability, one square mile at a time. We aim to increase household income of neighbors ? creating more neighbor-owned businesses, neighbor-owned properties, and conservation lifestyle practices. We believe this ?walkable-village? will produce local living economies that ?surthrive? the escalating consequences of our climate crisis. Building the proof is our signature work.
