Power Shift Convergence - California Student Sustainability Coalition

The Power Shift Network and California Student Sustainability Coalition are bringing young environmental and social justice leaders from all over the West for a weekend of workshops, trainings, speakers, and movement-building.

Power Shift Convergence is the first ever confluence of the Power Shift Network and the California Student Sustainability Coalition. This event stands out from your typical Power Shift or CSSC Convergence by bringing together both entities of student and community organizing around the nexus of climate, environmental and social justice. We seek to empower, recharge, and uplift the voices of young activists and budding change-makers. Gathered together, we will unite, redefine, and push forward our movement.

The theme of this event is Reclaim Today, Transform Tomorrow. This theme is a declaration of the need for change in the environmental movement. The face of the environmental movement often does not represent those who are most disproportionately affected by environmental degradation. We intend to uplift the voices of those who have been pushed aside and recenter this movement around issues of systemic oppression that have previously been ignored in environmentalism.
