In November of 2007 the Energy Action Coalition brought together more than 6,000 young activists for the first ever national youth conference to solve the climate crisis. Watch highlights from the historic and inspiring Power Shift.

This February 27, the movement is re-convening in Washington, DC for three days of training, strategy and action. More than 10,000 activists are expected for Power Shift 2009. Find out about and register for the conference and support Energy Action, a youth-led coalition of 48 organizations across the US and Canada, which has been instrumental in galvanizing youth action to save the planet.

From Minneapolis to Venezuela, from Gaza to Washington, DC, this is a time of staggering chaos, cruelty, and violence. 

Unlike other publications that parrot the views of authoritarians, billionaires, and corporations, The Nation publishes stories that hold the powerful to account and center the communities too often denied a voice in the national media—stories like the one you’ve just read.

Each day, our journalism cuts through lies and distortions, contextualizes the developments reshaping politics around the globe, and advances progressive ideas that oxygenate our movements and instigate change in the halls of power.
