Subject: Get On The Bus!
The clock is ticking. Get on the bus. Just months before the first presidential primaries, thousands of young people from across the country will converge on the DC area for the largest conference on climate change ever held and learn how to use the next 431 days as effectively as possible to ensure that in 2009, we pass a powerful, national game plan to stop global warming.

We need a president that will hear our voices and make this issue a top priority and we're going to make all of that happen at Power Shift. Power Shift, happening Nov. 2 - 5th, will be a weekend-long event full of panel discussions, workshops, a green job fair, an opportunity to directly lobby congress, big name speakers and a lot more. The invited speakers range from celebrity activists like Spike Lee, Jon Stewart and Al Gore to Former chief of the Environmental Protection Agency, Carol Browner as well as Kofi Annan, Nelson Mandela and many more. Most importantly, Power Shift is going to be the chance for young people to gain the knowledge and skills to truly make a difference on this issue and the networking to create a unified, nationwide youth global warming movement.

The time for a unified voice on global warming couldn't be better; with the upcoming presidential elections we need to make it known that this is our top priority. Students are answering the call from Seattle to Wisconsin to West Virginia and North Carolina to fill a bus. Students are stepping up and committing to recruiting their peers and filling a bus (aka 55 people). This is an event you can't miss. Get on the Bus! Join us November 2nd at the University of Maryland.
