Revamping Masspowershift.org

It's an interesting time to be involved with Massachusetts Power Shift.

After a successful conference this April, the planning team is expanding and opening to become the youth climate movement of Massachusetts. We hope to be helpful to everyone interested in activism, or even those who have never been involved before. It's really not that hard to get started, and once you do it feels fantastic to be involved in a democratic process.

As my role in the organization, I'm going to be PUBLISHING THE NEWSLETTER once a month to inform, direct, and inspire ya'll to action. Anyone reading this should subscribe on our homepage, www.masspowershift.org. It won't be spammy, while being very informative about what's going on.

The newsletter is part of our effort to revamp and recreate the organization's website. We now will be offering a calendar of events, blog, and resources page for your own actions. I'm working on the web design of this baby, seeing what that's all about. The site is designed to be as user-friendly and simply informative as possible... check it out and tell your friends!

If you're around Boston for the 2nd, there's a huge rally at the State House that MAPS is taking part in around the GWSA, a cap-and-trade bill for Massachusetts. This is a perfect way to get involved, real action and make a difference. Make a sign, get some friends, and head over to the State House (near the Boston Common, Park St. T) :::
