Hey John,
There are 50 days left until the Power Shift 2021 convergence!
We’re building a massive, impactful, inclusive and transformative space for youth organizers to connect, learn, grow, and plan, and we need your help to pull this off. We know that people are what will make this digital space a dynamic one, filled with eye-opening conversations and community building. Our convergence is centering around six core themes, and we’re looking to our broader community -- that’s you -- to help us ensure that we are offering relevant, empowering, and accessible programming to our attendees. If you, or someone you know, can offer topics relating to any of these themes:
Grounding: Movement History & Political Education
Healing: Community Care and Building Power to Fight for Justice
Training: Skills to Strengthen Resistance
Centering: Lessons and Wisdom from NOLA & the Gulf
Building: Strengthening our Connections and Networks
Creating: Lifting up Arts & Culture in our work
We are still accepting content proposals for folks to offer their skills in a 90-minute session at Power Shift 2021. The priority deadline is on March 1st, but we’re accepting applications throughout the month— so spread this far and wide to your people, colleagues, and movement elders who have wisdom to share!
Equipping the thousands of youth activists who will join PS21 with knowledge is fundamental to the climate justice movement. Supporting young generations with whatever tools we have at our disposal can lead to the just future we’re fighting for. We want to see your ideas and have you lead a session during our virtual convergence.

Looking forward to the knowledge y’all will bring to PS21!
