In this galvanizing talk, Roxanne Brown shows the hallmark of a true coalition builder, connecting her work as a labor leader to the definition of a “bioneer.” Of Jamaican descent and from a line of strong women who made great sacrifices to pursue the American Dream, she understands first-hand that sustainability cannot exist without workplace safety, economic security, and a legacy for future generations. This speech was given at the 2011 Bioneers National Conference and is part of the Re-Imagining Labor in a Green Economy Vol. 1 Collection. Since 1990, Bioneers has acted as a fertile hub of social and scientific innovators with practical and visionary solutions for the world's most pressing environmental and social challenges. To experience talks like this, please join us at the Bioneers National Conference each October, and regional Bioneers Resilient Community Network gatherings held nationwide throughout the year.
