In 2004, Van Jones became a founding board member of the [[Apollo Alliance]] for "clean energy and green-collar jobs." [http://apolloalliance.org/blog/?tag=van-jones] [http://www.fundersnetwork.org/files/Looking_Forward_PDF_for_Viewing.pdf p.87] [[Jeff Jones]] of the [[Weather Underground]] is the New York State director of Apollo Alliance. Anthony Thigpenn, a former [[Black Panther]], is a board member of the Apollo Alliance. Apollo is a secretive alliance of labor, environment, and other [[left-wing]] [[activist]]s that formulated Obama’s trillion dollar “stimulus” plan. Van Jones described Apollo “as sort of a grand unified field theory for [[progressive]] left causes.”<ref>https://capitalresearch.org/article/blm-roots/</ref>
