Who wants to go represent the Fight With Tools community in DC?

I just got this email from van Jones' group, green for all. This seems like a great opportunity:

People near DC can sign up and go!
Other folks can either donate to help others go, or apply for scholarships to go themselves!

it's be cool to have some FWT representation there!

James,

In 3 weeks, we will make HISTORY with Power Shift 2009.

It will be the biggest lobby day on climate and green jobs in U.S. history. And the biggest youth lobby day of any kind - ever.

We're rolling deep -10,000 strong. Ten thousand. That's 100 youth in each Senate office.

Young people and people of color voted in record numbers. Now our elected leaders have to listen to us:

We want millions of green jobs and we want 'em NOW!

Can you come?

Three ways to participate:

1. Come to Power Shift 2009 - February 27th - March 2nd, in Washington, D.C.
When you register, be sure to select "Green 4 All" for the question "What coalition member-group are you most affiliated with?"

Contact youth@greenforall.org with questions about attending.

2. Sponsor a Young Organizer
Green For All needs to raise $20,000 to send 200 low-income youth to the conference. Can you give $25 to the Power Shift 2009 Scholarship Fund today?

3. Apply for a Scholarship
For community organizers, campus activists, hip hop artists, high school students, and other low-income young leaders of color who need financial support. Scholarship deadline: Next Friday, February 13th.


See you there!
