Power Shift 2013



Catastrophic climate change threatens our future unlike any other generation.
So it’s no surprise that nearly one million of us spoke up this summer to send messages to President Obama thanking him for laying out a bold and practical vision for confronting the climate crisis.

After all, we are the generation who elected him twice and we are the generation who will lead
the fight with him. We are the generation who worked hard to transition 21 of the 60 coal plants
 on U.S. campuses to cleaner fuel. We have the power, we have the people, and we have a movement.
 

Next month, over 10,000 youth activists will gather in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania for Power Shift.
Leaders from across the country will host over 200 panels, trainings, and workshops to engage
and train the next generation of leaders that will change the world. Power Shift will be a spark
 point for thousands of young climate activists who will return home eager to take action and
make a difference.
 
 
Together we can build a stronger and more vibrant climate movement to fight fracking,
divest from fossil fuels, demand climate justice, and build a clean energy economy that
works for everyone.
 
See you in October,
