Beginning on October 1, 2017, The Jimmy Carter Jamboree initiative in California has been celebrating President Jimmy Carter’s lifelong accomplishments while collecting city and county and state proclamations and resolutions to recognize his stand for peace, human rights, housing, diplomacy, energy, conservation, health, mental health and fairness.

Each year we have organized film screenings, community events, television and radio broadcasts and concerts in order to educate and bring recognition to Carter’s service and his stand for values. We believe we can “Jimmy” our nation into a radical revolution, “Carter Style”, with kindness, unity and generosity!

We find it is a scandal how Carter has been silenced in our nation for nearly forty years when arguably he “stands with the giants.” As we reflect on his administration and work with The Carter Center, we can claim he was arguably one of our greatest leaders.

In 2025, we begin to organize webinars with prominent guests and raise money to offer students educational visits to The Carter Center and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s Historic National Park. We want to ensure our youth learn well the power of diplomacy, nonviolent disobedience, and the responsibility of the private citizen.
