Youth united for clean
and just energy.
and just energy.
About Power Vote
In November 2007 Energy Action Coalition brought thousands of young
people together in Washington, DC to demand a Power Shift within our
government. Thousands of youth met with representatives from nearly
every district to demand bold solutions on climate change. Throughout
the Spring we've continued these conversations while continuing to
create a clean and just energy revolution on our campuses and in our
communities.
But we need more than thousands to win this fight. We need millions of young people committed to creating a better, healthier, more just, and sustainable future.
This Fall, through Power Vote we are doing just that. We are building a youth voter bloc 1 million strong to demand bold federal climate legislation, a moratorium on coal and other dirty energy, and to create millions of good, green jobs. Youth will start by signing our Power Vote pledge and then get plugged into the incredible youth climate movement sweeping the nation. We will not only elect people who support our position, but will hold them accountable to it.
Throughout the Fall, we will be elevating climate and clean, just energy as a national issue. Every time a candidate makes a public (and sometimes private) appearance we'll be there with green hard hats on and no coal signs waving. Every time a bill is up or a council member is compromising our future, we'll be there. You'll see us at the conventions, at coal plants and oil refineries, and on major coordinated days of action. And you will see us at the polls. We will be impossible to ignore.
And all the while, we will be building the power and numbers of the youth climate movement. We'll have more people fighting for campus clean energy policies, to break our addiction to oil, to get dirty (energy) money out of politics, and to stop dirty energy expansion dead in it's tracks. On November 4, our work doesn't end but ramps up to ensure that promises are kept in the first 100 days of new administration and that all our amazing new youth climate leaders have a clear plan for creating real, lasting change in their communities.
