About Power Shift - California Student Sustainability Coalition

This fall, 10,000+ youth leaders will converge in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to fight for our future. Together, we’ll build the movement to stop fracking, divest from fossil fuels, build a clean energy future, and stop the climate crisis.

Power Shift 2013 will take place October 18-21st in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Over that weekend, student organizers and activists will converge to create a unified vision for justice, and to build the power to make change possible. Young people will gather from all corners of the nation, and CSSC hopes to help get 300 Californians to Pittsburgh. At Power Shift, we will gain grassroots organizing skills, share perspectives, and build connections – don’t miss out on this life-changing opportunity.

Why now? Why us?

It’s increasingly important to recognize our local change-making in the broader context – from the region, to the nation, and ultimately, the globe. Power Shift 2013 will be pivotal in training and mobilizing those interested in the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy – a transition that is urgently important in California as fracking becomes a reality on our land. Power Shift focuses on constructive solutions that are environmentally and economically just, empowering students to take control in their local communities.
