Hey John,
I’ve been dreaming up a schedule for Power Shift 2023 alongside the amazing programming team at Power Shift Network and we’re finally ready to hear straight from you! The content proposal form is a place to leave your mark at the PS23 Convergence. A form to be a part of the collaborative intersectional environmental space. With three days of programming we hope to have a variety of narratives, arts, and climate lenses highlighted - the convergence allows opportunities to present what you’re passionate about and what you can teach to others based on your community, culture, knowledge, and your lived experiences.
There is a wealth of different climate lenses and roles within the climate movement that need to be highlighted. I know you have some wisdom to share with the thousands of youth planning to come to Power Shift 2023!
Just so you get a sense of the mix of political education, healing, and art content you can contribute, here’s are the themes for PS23:
>> Healing: Community Care and Building Power to Fight for Justice
>> Training: Skills to Strengthen Resistance
>> Centering: Lessons and Wisdom from NOLA & the Gulf
>> Grounding: Movement History & Political Education
>> Building: Strengthening our Connections and Networks
>> Creating: Lifting up Arts & Culture in our work
Myself and the programming team are here to plug in folks with skills and organizing tactics while centering healing and collectivism. If you’re hesitant to propose a session, feel free to reach out to me at [email protected]. I’d love to help answer any questions you have.
