Manny’s: Too Precious to Lose: An Evening with Jason Green

Too Precious to Lose is an inspirational memoir from former Obama White House staffer Jason Green about his rural Maryland family’s untold history, the merger of three churches—one Black, two white—and how a radical embrace of community became their salvation and his.

Jason G. Green is a Maryland-born community organizer, attorney, storyteller and entrepreneur. Green served as Associate White House Counsel to President Obama, advising on economic and domestic policy matters. Green co-founded SkillSmart, a company that reshapes how communities measure economic impact, and is CEO of EverGreen Labs, where he supports visionary organizations working to expand economic opportunity and strengthen community. His award-winning documentary, Finding Fellowship, explores the rich history of Quince Orchard and the fight to preserve its legacy. A graduate of Yale Law School, Green remains rooted in the work of truth and justice, investing in stories that remind us who we are.
