i didn’t participate in this event myself and I have a lot of critiques of Powershift but I just want to clarify for J’s sake that Obama has as of yet paid only lip-service to climate action meanwhile designating billions of dollars for the coal industry in the economic stimulus package.

Thanks to all who shared in this amazing experience. While it may not have been the most strategic event/action, it was incredibly empowering and at the very least helped me gain an understanding of what our movement is capable of!
much love!

HE IS FOR CLIMATE CONTROL, NOT AGAINST IT! i think that was a bad move

GREAT vids! Really short tho:-) they certainly capture the energy before the march. I can’t believe we did that! THIS is what democracy LOOKS LIKE!!! but i’d like to see these all over youtube, and the longer ones that i hope exist somewhere of the march itself:-) yay! KEEP UP THE REVOLUTION MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS!!!

It was absolutely indescribable to come out of the Roots concert to the roar of that crowd. If that kind of energy keeps up, there’s no way we can be stopped. I only hope the media catches on so the whole world can hear us!

We are sitting here in Brussels after an amazing meeting to organise the European Youth Climate Movement. We are inspired by your energy, and can guarantee that it is reaching across the Atlantic, and will be not only maintained but will escalate until Copenhagen and beyond. It begins now, and manifests at Bonn in one month.

We’ll see your PowerShift and raise you a Climate Revolution!
