All around us, things are changing. We see it in the new weather patterns from below the 49th parallel to the arctic circle. We can see it in the consistently low value of oil on the market. We can see it in the number of layoffs in the oil and gas sector. We can see it in those who stand up for their inherent and treaty rights in the face of new infrastructure. We can hear it in the voices of those calling out for justice.

We can help this change grow into a wave of new, bold action. Which is why we are hosting PowerShift Alberta, in Amiskwaciwâskahikan (Edmonton).

PowerShift has helped to grow this generation of climate justice organizers since 2009 with national gatherings in 2009 and 2012 in Ottawa, and regional gatherings in BC in 2013 and the Atlantic in 2014. Now we are bringing it to the Prairies. From April 1-3, 2016 join hundreds of other youth from across the Prairies, the North and beyond to learn, build community, and get prepared to make change.

Workshops, panel discussions, skill building, inspirational keynotes, and uplifting entertainment will bring us together to learn how climate solutions must also address the ways our society has never worked for some communities. And together, we will prepare to mobilize the places where we live and work to take meaningful action for climate justice.

PowerShift Alberta comes at a unique moment of political possibility and economic uncertainty. Will you join us to seize that moment?
