Power Shift 2007 and Step It Up: United Under 1 Sky

We aren't the only ones talking about 1 Sky and real leadership on global warming. We are proud of our partnership with Power Shift 2007, a major youth conference on global warming and the clean energy economy that will be taking place November 2-5 in Washington, D.C.

On November 3rd, thousands of students at Power Shift will join hundreds of Step It Up actions across the country in calling for real climate leaders. And then, on Monday, November 5th, armed with photos of Step It Up rallies in every state, student delegations will meet with their Representatives at the Capitol to talk about 1 Sky and our call for action.

For a day all about leadership, we could think of nothing better than to have thousands of young people in the nation's capitol demanding a new course for America.

If you are a college student, register for Power Shift today and find out how you can become a student recruiter. Can't make it all the way to D.C.? No problem, by organizing a Step It Up event on campus you'll be taking part in a national movement for change.
