ILO TV interviews Her Excellency Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, President of Liberia.Each year, World Day for Social Justice draws global attention to efforts to eradicate poverty and promote social well-being, equality and full and decent employment. In 2010 this search for a "society for all" faces severe challenges brought on by the global economic and jobs crises, resurging poverty and long-term social uncertainty. Against this backdrop, the ILO has launched a year-long Voices on Social Justice Campaign to provide a global platform for perspectives on what social justice means today and how it might be achieved in the years to come.

Its hard to predict whether Dick Gregory will be most celebrated as a path-breaking comedian or a trailblazing civil rights activist. Its impossible to imagine the history of either movement without him—or without his unique blending of the two. In the early 1960s, he became one of the first black comedians to perform before integrated audiences. In 1967, he ran for mayor of Chicago against Richard J. Daley, and a year later for president as the Freedom and Peace Party candidate. The author of and contributor to many politically charged books, Gregory is still a staunch, wry political voice across a range of issues as varied as nutrition, social justice, and the environment. Chicago Sun-Times columnist Laura Washington interviews the provocative and always unpredictable Gregory.

The Greenlining Institute is a multi-ethnic research and advocacy organization whose ultimate goal is to promote equitable policies that improve the quality of life for all Californians. Our objective is to increase low-income and minority participation in policy making and to train minority leaders for future advocacy. The Greenlining Academy was established for this purpose and has embraced both the challenge and opportunity to build a diverse cohort of educated, community minded leaders who have the skills, tools, and knowledge to advocate for their communities and a broad social justice agenda. The Movement 2.0 refers to a new movement for social justice that cuts across racial and ethnic lines, identifies links among multiple issues directly impacting people and forges alliances that call for nothing less than a paradigm shift across Californias movements for justice. To learn more about the Greenlining Academy and how to join, please visit: www.greenlining.org/academy
