Hey everyone,
Remember when a bunch of us got together in DC to rally for sanity? It was great to have a central event and place to plan around to meet up. Well, here is another opportunity for us to do that, joining 10,000 other young people trying to make a difference in our environment and economy.
You guys hear about PowerShift this year? It's basically an awesome youth protest/training opportunity to protest against fossil fuels and to encourage a power shift toward renewable and green energy.
It's in DC from April 15-18. Registration is $50 I think but there are scholarships available and an even cheaper deal if you volunteer. In exchange for 8 hours of volunteering you can get in for only 10 bucks.
Which is the important part of this post - I contacted EAC (energy action coalition, not environmental action club), and they said there's a bunch of these cheap volunteer spots if we contact them with names and contact info. I figured it would be a great opportunity to meet up with old friends who are also going, meet some awesome people, learn interesting things, listen to great speakers (or at least important people - Al Gore, Lisa Jackson) and have a fun time. Also, I have some friends and family in DC if you need a place to stay.
Anyone down for a weekend in DC?
Vince
PS Here is some more info about PowerShift:
This spring, over 10,000 young leaders will converge on Washington, DC to stand up for our future. At Power Shift 2011, we’ll stand together to reclaim our democracy from big corporations and push our nation to move beyond dirty energy sources that are harming the health of people and the planet.
You do not want to miss it. April 15-18 - Power Shift 2011 - will be an amazing experience. Talk to anyone who went in 2009 and they will tell you how incredible it was then, and we're going to make Power Shift 2011 even better. Check out this video for a small taste from 2009:
