Help ODU Shift the Power!
<p> <em>Did you know that Norfolk is the second-most climatically threatened city in the U.S? </em></p> <p> <em>Did you know that we have North America's largest coal pier sitting in our backyard?</em></p> <p> <em>Do you live in Lambert's Point or West Ghent? Have you noticed the layer of coal soot on your house?</em></p> <p> ODU students from an array of organizations are heading to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania this October for <a href="http://www.wearepowershift.org">Power Shift 2013</a>-- a convergence of 15,000 youth activists from all over the country. While there, we will gain a more in-depth understanding of anti-oppression, diversity, and the recognition of privilege, attend training and workshops, plan campaigns, network, meet inspiring keynote speakers, have a breakout group with all of the other youth activists in Virginia, and so much more. We are doing this in order to <em>fight fracking, divest from fossil fuels, demand climate justice, and build a clean energy economy that works for everyone!</em> Most of all, we want to save our sinking city!</p> <p> Please consider helping us pay for food, travel, and registration, by making a donation, here: <a href="http://www.gofundme.com/ODUPowerShift">www.gofundme.com/ODUPowerShift</a><br /> Every tax-deductable donation, no matter how small, will go directly to helping to make our Power Shift goals a reality.
