A Greener Eph: Powershift and Step it UP
A day is looming on the near horizon of the climate movement. November 3rd will be the biggest day of action we have ever seen, but it will be big because we will be split.
Step it UP Berkshires is going to be held at some combination of Jiminy Peak and Williams. Powershift , the first ever national youth climate conference is at the University of MD for that weekend.
I had a lot of trouble deciding what to do about this weekend, since both are really awesome. But now that Thursday Night Group has swelled to a much larger membership, we see a much stronger group, one that can split its energies into making two events happen. I don't think it will be that hard to get 15 students down to MD for a long weekend (Friday morning to Monday night), and still have enough organizers and interested students in town to get a big turnout for Step it up.
So Williams is sending a team to Powershift.
