New Video: Majora Carter "One Change"

Update #3 · Nov 16, 2011 · comment

Dearest Perennials Project Backers!

Thank you, thank you for the overwhelming support that has streamed in over the past few weeks. As we roll toward the finish line of our Kickstarter campaign, we are hopeful that we will reach our goal. Please do continue to spread the word through all of your networks!!

Again as a small token of our appreciation, we want you to be the first to see our newest webisode, "Majora Carter: One Change". We interviewed Majora and her husband, James Chase, on their green roof in the South Bronx. There they both work to build environmental justice and create green jobs. We hope you enjoy Majora's answer to our question... "If you could make one change, what would it be?"

Thanks again for all of your support!! Onwards!

Sincerely yours,

Audrey, James, Michelle & Samir
