WE NEED YOUR HELP TO ATTEND POWER SHIFT 2013!
Let's face facts: we've got an uphill battle ahead. From the Keystone XL pipeline and university endowments tied up in shares of Exxon and BP, to fracking wells going up in our backyards that poison communities and workers, catastrophic climate change threatens our future unlike any other generation.
Meanwhile, the same corporate interests who pollute our climate have hijacked our democracy with billions of dollars in campaign contributions, ads, and outright bribes. They are behind efforts to restrict our right to vote, eliminate workers' rights to organize, promote tragic laws like Stand Your Ground, and other attacks on our generation that are as numerous as they are shameful.
This fall, young people are coming together for a Power Shift: it's time for a shift in priorities at every level of society. From our local communities to the national government, we have the power to make it happen.
But we need YOUR help to do it.
This October in Pittsburgh we'll unite under our grand vision for justice, and build the power to make change possible.
More than ten thousand youth leaders from every walk of life "” college students, young environmental justice leaders, DREAMers, young people of faith, young workers "” will come together to learn from one another, to build and launch strategic campaigns in their own communities.
So where do you come in? Considering registration, housing, and travel expenses, the costs add up fast. $65 sends one person to Power Shift 2013, but with the weight of student loans and rent to cope with, not many young folks can afford to cover it all. We're trying to send 550 young people from the region to Power Shift, so making a contribution will ensure that all of us can do our part.
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.
Thank you.
