Thousands of young people will rally across the United States this Fall for the Power Shift '09 Regional Summits: 11 massive gatherings to exercise the political power of young voters and ask President Obama and Congress to pass a clean energy jobs plan by December to rebuild our economy, end our dependence on dirty energy, and bring America lasting security.
The Carolinas Powershift will be packed full of inspirational speakers, educational workshops and panel discussions on a wide range of environmental and social justice issues, as well as opportunities to participate in community service projects and a possible town hall forum on climate and energy! Between 800-1000 youth are expected to attend, including high school and college students, from all over North and South Carolina.
There will also be several live musical performances, documentary and film screenings throughout the conference and opportunities for students to network with each other to exchange ideas and information (as well as names and contact information)! Nathan Moore and The Native Sway (local band from Boone) have already been confirmed to perform on Saturday night.
Guests and attendees are encouraged to arrive and register Friday night for socializing and welcome events.
