@Wanderwrite: I see you're trying to update this entry. However, in doing so, you're introducing some unacceptable sources and other errors. Please do not use an organization's website to verify specific claims, as Wikipedia relies on secondary coverage such as newspapers for fact-checking. You might consider identifying issues with the current text, and proposing changes with helpful sources here on the Talk page, instead of editing the article directly.

Proposed revision to the introduction

[edit]

Dream.org is a non-profit founded by American social change entrepreneur Van Jones[1] that aims to “close prison doors and open doors of opportunity,”[2][3] specifically by finding common ground on mass incarceration, climate change, and economic inequality. Previously known as The Dream Corps, it has three primary programs – TECH, JUSTICE, and GREEN FOR ALL – each of which were once standalone organizations[4][5][6][7][8][9].

I think this proposed lead may be too colorful for an encyclopedia. It leans too heavily on quotes, qualifiers ("social change entrepreneur" reads as unnecessary, simply "entrepreneur" would suffice), and the uppercase programs don't add much to the article. The point of the lead is to summarize the article and present the topic, which the current lead does just fine. This proposal strays too close to WP:NPOV, possibly even promotion, as it is.

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.[1],[2] Wanderwrite (talk) 13:20, 1 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
