2024 Jimmy Carter Jamboree Season Wrap

The 2024 Jimmy Carter Jamboree season wraps up leaving us to reflect on all those across California who supported this effort to honor and celebrate President Jimmy Carter on his 100th Birthday. Seven counties issued Proclamations with many calling for a Jimmy Carter Week: Alameda, Humboldt, Tuolomne, San Diego, Sacramento, Sutter, Santa Cruz and Alameda, we are so happy to share words and moments with you.

On September 29, Orick’s Chamber of Commerce Donna Hufford accepted a proclamation from Humboldt Supervisor Steve Madrone. Carter had expanded the Redwood National Park in the late 1970s and Orick serves as the gateway town. A herd of Roosevelt Elk surrounded the community hall after the event and we were all humbled.

On October 1, Marin TV hosted a two hour live broadcast with ABC anchor Spencer Christian. Guests included Human Rights/Project Censored journalist Mischa Geracoulis, Ocean Conservation Research Director Michael Stocker and musicians/videos by artists José Neto, Narada Michael Walden, Steve Wolf, Mason Holcomb and Randall Sequeira. Omid Shamsapour of Marin TV also joined us as guest to wish his father a happy birthday, which was the same day, and shared words about the Middle East, peace and hope.
