About 12 thousand students from all over the US are meeting in Washington, DC for the Power Shift '09, a youth workshop conference on climate change. This summit is intended to promote college students to take action and demand US policy makers and elected officials to rebuild the economy of the nation while changing the entire climate and energy policy.
- "The four day summit will feature speakers such as Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, Representatives Donna Edwards and Ed Markey, Van Jones, Dr James Hansen, and special musical performances by The Roots and Santigold [...] We WILL ensure a clean energy future for the United States, and we want you to make it happen with us.
There will be seminars, panels, and workshops, a green career fair, legislative briefings and activist trainings, state-focused break-out sessions and a March 2 Lobby Day, where thousands will flood the halls of Congress to lobby our representatives."
