This past weekend a crew of 11 volunteers joined 80,000 people at our nation’s largest music and arts festival, Bonnaroo. We arrived in Manchester, TN ready to get the word out about Power Vote. We melted in the record-setting heat, dressed to impress for late-night dance parties in stellar Power Vote costumes, and even waited until 4:25 AM to catch Kanye’s crowd-angering performance. Most importantly, we spoke with thousands of people about demanding action from candidates up and down the ballot on climate change and energy injustice, turning out to the polls to vote for climate champions, and holding our elected leaders accountable to the challenge we face. Over 4,000 young people pledged to get involved to make 2008 the climate election.
Backstage, Reagan and I caught up with Jack Johnson and Ben Folds who were psyched to hear about Power Vote!
Check out what they had to say…

Yeah Power Vote! We at Dogwood Alliance were rockin’ Planet Roo with you guys last week! Cheers to encouraging and uniting thousands of young people to take action and do something about climate change!
Thought you might appreciate our new campaign to hold fast food companies accountable for their needless exploitation of our vital and precious Southern forests–our best and most natural defense against global warming.
Together, we’re getting at this issue from all angles.
You guys are awesome. Keep doin’ the good work!
