We may not be the same, yet we live in the same world. I was inspired by the events happening in the world today. We are neighbors. I hope the rest of the world can learn from these brothers and get along in peace.

Jim Green

Jim Green was an American-Canadian community activist. He was a dedicated advocate for the poor and worked tirelessly as a community builder in Vancouver. He passed away in 2012. I feel it is important that we know and remember him and his legacy.
