Power Shift 2009

February 16, 2009 Front Page 1 Comment

We’re getting psyched about this.

In 2007, the Energy Action Coalition put together the original Power Shift. Thousands of kids from around the country descended on Washington for 3 days in November, and the energy they brought to the green jobs movement was 100% renewable.

In 2009, we’re going back to D.C. for Power Shift 09. Our government made us a promise, and we’re gonna make sure it’s kept. Power Shift is going down February 27th through March 2nd. 99problems.org is going to be all over the scene, bringing you exclusive video, blogs, and photos of America’s brightest activists and artists.

Looking to learn a bit more about Powershift?
We got the info for you!
Got a Facebook? BAM!
How ’bout a Myspace? POW!
Thinking about attending AND JOINING THE 99PROBLEMS TEAM AT THE CONFERENCE IN DC? KACHOW!
