On August 4th, 2009 we publically announced Green the Block at a press conference at the White House. This spring, Green The Block will engage communities throughout the country in monthly action events focusing on education, awareness and service, modeled after our very successful National Service and Remembrance Day which featured more than 100 service events on September 11, 2009. We'll also join hip hop and R&B star Drake on the Campus Consciousness Tour.

Check out the monthly action themes, get involved and take action in your community today.
