This April first through fourth, thousands of youth will gather in the shadows of RFK Stadium, Washington DC creating their own “tent city” for the Energy Action Coalition’s Power Shift 2011. Instead of meeting at a conference center, this year’s event will build its own convergence space using massive tents and creativity. Like Power Shift convergences of the past, Power Shift 2011 will allow student leaders to come together to support new campaigns, train one-another, and bolster local community and campus projects.  Because young people are currently leading the way to a clean energy economy, Power Shift 2011 represents our generation’s opportunity to come together to develop shared vision, strategy, and ultimately determine the future of the movement.

To ensure Power Shift 2011 is empowering and inclusive, the Energy Action Coalition has entered the “Pepsi Refresh Project,” a project that gives away millions to fund great ideas with positive impacts.  If Power Shift 2011 is one of the top ten most voted for projects at the end of this month, the Energy Action Coalition will receive $50,000 to use towards travel scholarships, travel accommodations, and fee waivers for students who would otherwise not be able to attend the conference.
