by K.C. Alvey, State Focal Point, Green Umbrella: NY Youth for a Just and Sustainable Future
We’ve got an exciting announcement: in less than four weeks, hundreds of young people are converging in Albany for Power Shift New York!
Early registration for Power Shift NY ends Sunday. Register now for just $15.
Organized by the Green Umbrella, a network of young people in New York, this couldn’t be happening at a more important time. Momentum is building in the fight for clean energy, but the looming decision on fracking in New York threatens our progress. This spring we will come together and demonstrate loud and clear to Governor Cuomo that youth voters demand a ban on fracking.
We’re hosting a Power Shift NY Pump-up Call this Thursday (4/5) from 7 - 8 PM with special guest Josh Fox, Director of Gasland. On the call we’ll lay out all the details of Power Shift NY, discuss how we can make this an epic mobilization, and hear from Josh Fox on why banning fracking in New York is more important than ever before! Click here to RSVP for the call on Facebook.
Power Shift NY, April 27-29 in Albany, will feature:
Incredible speakers which we’ll be announcing this Thursday on the call. Be the first to hear this exciting news!
Trainings and strategy sessions to address the issues that matter the most to us: taking back our political system, stopping fracking, and building the clean energy economy right here in New York.
Action! We’re planning a major demonstration to demand Governor Cuomo support a ban on fracking - you don’t want to miss this!
Last April 10,000 of us came together for Power Shift 2011 and that was pretty awesome. But this spring we’re coming together in NEW YORK to continue to build a movement around the issues that we’re facing locally and regionally.
So… what are you waiting for? Register before next Sunday (4/8) at midnight and pay only $15: http://ny.wearepowershift.org/register
Power Shift NY is going to be incredible, can’t wait to see you there!
Love and Solidarity,
The Green Umbrella Team
