At our annual fund raising benefit, Jimmy Fallon, The Roots and Brian Williams (“Brilliams”) surprised the crowd by Slow Jamming Robin Hood 101 to help explain what makes this one of the most effective poverty fighting organizations around. As Jimmy says, Robin Hood’s fact checkin’ is vigorous and our metrics are rigorous. Well, you just have to see it for yourself…

This morning we are honored host the first national Robin Hood Veterans Summit at the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum. This all-day event includes voices from business, government, nonprofits and the media working to make veterans’ issues a national priority.

A few of our panelist include: Admiral Mike Mullen, General Stanley McChrystal, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Senator Patty Murray. And we are grateful to have the participation of Jon Stewart, Katie Couric, Gayle King, Willie Geist, Brian Williams, and Tom Brokaw who will all help facilitate the day’s discussions.
