Power Vote 2008
All across the nation, young people are standing up for a greener America. The Energy Action Coalition, the non-partisan organization that brought you Powershift, has launched another fantastic campaign to show politicians what matters to the millennial generation. Powervote aims for one million youth to pledge that they will vote with the environment as their top priority this November. These “climate voters” stand for green jobs, a clean energy economy, and a moratorium on coal.
Numbers of active voters under 30 have skyrocketed in the last few years, and now comprise 25% of the electorate. With numbers like these, youth have a strong political bargaining chip in obtaining a sustainable planet. With the combined strength of the 48 organizations within the coalition, including Earth Day Network, this campaign crosses all political, economic, and social divides to put the climate on the top of political talking points.
Tapping into the energy of youth is more important than ever. From asking teachers for 5 minutes of class time, to holding rallies and marches in local communities, youth leaders across the country are demanding a clean energy future. Now’s the time to join this campaign for your home, school, and greater community. Sign the pledge and demand clean energy for America’s future!!!
