Shift The Power!

A room full of talented folks from NWF met with Campus Climate Challenge coordinator Jessy Tolkin to discuss the promising Power Shift conference happening this fall. The conference will be the largest and hopefully most important student climate meeting yet—drawing 3 to 5 thousand students, ’08 presidential hopefuls, and climate experts from all corners of this broad and diverse movement.

NWF is looking to play a powerful role in the conference, ensuring that Wildlife message gets across to the students and leaders. With the mind-bloggling but encouraging 11-committee organizing structure to the conference, covering everything from racial, ethnic, and class diversity to logistics and planning, there is definitely room for influencing the way this conference turns out!

So let’s hope those presidential candidates--Republicans too!--conservationists, evangelicals, crazy activists, hunters and anglers, crunchy granolas, and whoever else cares about climate change show up this fall and start shiftin’ the power.
