Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox organization

Dream.org is a non-profit co-founded by Van Jones, Jessica Jackson, and Matt Haney that focuses on addressing mass incarceration, climate change, and poverty by advocating for new legislation, creating green jobs, and teaching low-income children how to code.

History

Jessica Jackson and Matt Haney met Van Jones during a chance meeting and began talking with him about criminal justice reform.[1] Over breakfast they scribbled ideas on a napkin which later led to the formation of #cut50.[1]

In 2015, Jackson, Haney, and Jones joined to co-found #cut50, an organization focused on bipartisan solutions to criminal justice reform issues.[2][3][4][5] As #cut50, Dream Corps worked alongside members of Congress, and the Trump Administration to develop and pass the First Step Act of 2018.[1]


Bezos donation

In 2021, Jeff Bezos reportedly gave Dream.org $100,000,000 (USD) as a donation.[6] In 2023, Van Jones was ousted from Dream.org over financial woes.

Dream Corps TECH

Dream Corps TECH started as #YesWeCode in early 2015 alongside Rebuild the Dream.[7] The organization works to teach low-income kids how to code.[7]
