2021 POWER SHIFT CONVERGENCE
Virtual • April 16 – 25, 2021Since 2007, Power Shift convergences have propelled the growth of the youth-led climate movement. Fundamentally, we believe that the type of movement that wins is one that focuses on building power from the ground up — starting with those most affected by the injustices and systems of oppression at the core of our society. As such, PS21 will center youth activists, and with that in mind, we invite intergenerational participation and engagement in planning, programming, and execution of the convergence to further uplift the power of the youth. Headliner schedule and registration.
nk them for their generous offer for free viewings.
