We talk every day about creating a clean and just energy economy. But what will it take to actually make it happen?
Last April, you were a big part of the answer — and we can prove it. Power Shift 2011 was the largest organizer training in history, and when 10,000 leaders returned to their campuses and communities the impact was undeniable. Not only was our movement energized like never before, we had the skills and experience to back it up.
From Keystone XL to defending the EPA and creating local clean energy solutions, 2011 saw some incredible victories. What’s more, as our movement grew, we found ourselves with a powerful new ally in the Occupy Movement. The fight for clean energy and the fight for economic justice are inexorably intertwined: the only way to have a clean energy economy is to have an economy that works for the 99%.
Now it’s time to take the next step. This April, we’re once again organizing a massive grassroots training, but this time, it’s in your communities and on your campuses. And once again we need your help. For this to work, we need organizers like you to step up as trainers and host events on campuses and communities across the country.
