About Noir Et Vert
Join Young, Gifted & Green to celebrate 10 years in the Movement for a #LeadFreeUSA and Environmental Justice!
Young, Gifted & Green (formerly Black Millennials 4 Flint), started as a community outreach project in the wake of the Flint Water Crisis with Thursday Network--Greater Washington Urban League Young Professionals. We were officially founded in Washington, DC on February 10, 2016, and we have been blessed to expand our work nationally.
This fundraising event will feature dinner, music by DJ Marvelous & a violin feature by Candice Mott, a silent auction, a cash bar, a photo booth, and a wonderful celebration of Black Excellence. This esteemed event will also honor the lives of Congressmen Donald McEachin & Raul Grijalva with acknowledgement of remarkable EJ leaders upholding their legacy for cleaner and healthier environments with inductees into the Grijalva-McEachin Legacy Circle along with Inaugural Noir et Vert Award Honorees for Lifetime Achievement & Changemaker.
Special Guests: Dr. Mustafa Santiago Ali, Mari Copeny (AKA "Little Miss Flint"), Dr. Wes Bellamy, AND MORE!

Young, Gifted & Green
https://www.younggiftedgreen.org/
Young, Gifted & Green is a national grassroots, environmental justice and civil rights organization with the purpose of bringing like-minded organizations together to collectively take action and advocate against the crisis of lead exposure and environmental injustice in disadvantaged communities. Young, Gifted & Green is the first African American and Latinx founded environmental justice and civil rights organization in US history founded by HBCU graduates. Their roots began as a programming initiative within Thursday Network—Greater Washington Urban League with their first project supporting Flint, Michigan during the Flint Water Crisis. As a collective group of Black millennials from across the country, they grew into an official movement on February 10, 2016 and realized quickly that the Flint Water Crisis was a wake up call for every single city in the U.S. regarding lead exposure not just in water, but soil, air, and consumer products. We are moved by Dr. Martin Luther King's sentiment that "a threat to justice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."
