SUMMARY:Power Shift planning meeting
DESCRIPTION:Is it getting hot in here? Are you burning to take action 
 on climate change? Have you heard about Power Shift? This is your chan
 ce to get involved in bringing Manitoba youth to Ottawa for a gatherin
 g of 1,000 young people from across the country to deliver a message o
 f change to our federal government, and take bold steps to tackle the 
 climate crisis.\n\n\nGet involved TODAY and make history...\n\n\nThe C
 anadian Youth Climate Coalition is in the early stages of organizing a
  historic event called Power Shift Canada. After the success of Power 
 Shift U.S., where over 12,000 youth united on Capitol Hill, and the so
 on to be Power Shift Australia and U.K., we think it is time for Canad
 a’s own youth to join the global movement.\n\nAll young people and t
 hose who work with youth organizations are invited to get involved in 
 organizing a Manitoban delegation to Power Shift.\n\nThis will be our 
 second planning meeting in Winnipeg.\n\nRead on for more info on Power
  Shift...\n\n\n\n\n\nPOWER SHIFT CANADA\n\nFrom October 21-23rd, 2009 
 over one thousand youth from across the country will come together for
  two days of awesome workshops and strategy sessions in Ottawa that wi
 ll build to a major lobby day on Parliament Hill.\n\nThis is a great o
 pportunity for young Canadians of all backgrounds to come together to 
 create a fresh, positive, and inspiring vision of the future, one focu
 sed on our potential to overcome the challenges of the 21st century, b
 uild a clean energy economy, create green jobs, increase global equity
 , and revitalize our economy.\n\nThe timing of Power Shift is critical
 . It comes just before the UN climate negotiations taking place in Dec
 ember where the international community must pull together a post-Kyot
 o deal to reduce emissions. Canada has been a well-known laggard on th
 e international front. Let's make sure that this time our country take
 s an international stance we can be proud of.\n\nWe need YOU to help m
 ake this happen! All youth organizations and members of the community 
 across Manitoba are invited to join the Power Shift movement. This is 
 an exciting and important time for us to start coming together, to bui
 ld a bigger, better, stronger youth climate movement in Canada as well
  as here in Manitoba.\n\nFor more information visit http://www.mbecoyo
