Dream.org (previously known as Dream Corps) is a non-profit organization founded by Van Jones.[1] It focuses on issues such as mass incarceration, climate change, and poverty by advocating for legislation, influencing public policy, and training in computer programming.
History
[edit]Jessica Jackson and Matt Haney met Van Jones during a chance meeting and began talking with him about criminal justice reform.[2] Over breakfast they scribbled ideas on a napkin which later led to the formation of #cut50.[2]
In 2015, Jackson, Haney, and Jones joined to co-found #cut50, an organization focused on bipartisan solutions to criminal justice reform issues.[3][4][5][6] As #cut50, Dream Corps worked alongside members of Congress, and the Trump Administration to develop and pass the First Step Act of 2018.[2]
In 2021, Jeff Bezos reportedly gave Dream.org $100,000,000 (USD) as a donation.[7]
Since 2021, Dream.Org Justice (formerly known as #cut50) has advocated for passage of the Eliminating a Quantifiably Unjust Application of the Law (EQUAL) Act to eliminate sentencing disparities between crack and powder cocaine.[8][9]
Dream Corps TECH
[edit]Dream Corps TECH started as #YesWeCode in early 2015 alongside Rebuild the Dream.[10] The organization works to teach low-income kids how to code.[10]
