Power Shift gathered the leaders of today and of tomorrow. It was a powerful experience to gather in DC, and now it’s time to take that energy to congressional districts across America this spring.
One could easily be awestruck by the cast of experienced leaders who were in DC this weekend for Power Shift ‘09 and the Capitol Climate Action. Renowned author and activist Bill McKibben of 350, Eco-Justice visionary Van Jones of Green for All, Environmental Lawyer extraordinaire Gus Speth, Climatology expert James Hansen, Environmental Economist and author Jon Isham, Sustainable South Bronx founder Majora Carter, the legendary author Wendell Berry, Chair of the House Select Committee on Global Warming and Energy Independence Ed Markey, Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar, EPA Director Lisa Jackson, Congresswoman Donna Edwards, international democracy visionary Vandana Shiva, Bobby Kennedy,the list goes on and on and on.
Despite all the climate rock-stars present at the conference, an even more impressive group was gathered. 12,000 of tomorrow’s clean energy leaders came together this weekend to look back at where the movement has come and where it needs to go. 12,000 clean energy leaders are now headed back to their congressional districts to take a vision of a clean energy future home. Focus the Nation is ready to support the efforts of tomorrow’s leaders, and we have all the tools you need right here.
If you’re ready to knock 2009 out of the park and see America take a big step forward into the clean energy future, contact your regional organizer, check out the resources and get cranking on your community’s energy town hall this April.
