Hello Everyone,
This is a very exciting time for Green Corps and the entire environmental community as thousands of young people are preparing to descend on Washington D.C. for Power Shift 2009. Green Corps is proud to be sending 4 organizers to this historic event to spread the word about our paid training program in environmental organizing.
An estimated 10,000 college students, high school students and organizers are expected to gather at the capital February 27th-March 2nd for a weekend of environmental organizer networking and training, followed by a lobby day where students will meet with their state representatives and senators to discuss solutions for dealing with the climate crisis. The weekend will finish with a rally on the lawn of the Capitol and a chance for young organizers to testify before a Congressional Delegation.
Find out if your school is already organizing a group going to Power Shift at www.powershift09.org.
If you're not registered yet, start calling your friends; Power Shift is less than a week away! Be sure to stop by our table and say hello. We'll be the folks in the dark green "Proud to be a Community Organizer" T-shirts.
While we are sure to meet lots of motivated potential Green Corps applicants down in D.C., we want to inform everyone in our college network that March 13th, 2009 is our National Deadline for Green Corps Class of 2010 applications.
