I heard about this a couple of times (one time on WBAI radio this week), but I did not check into it enough, because I knew we were too broke to travel to D.C. Not sure all the ins and outs of the group. But, I think their event might be the big, activist news for the weekend. And, it seems worth looking into. Please check this out for yourself:

Power Shift ’09
In the middle of our new administration’s first 100 days, Power Shift 09 will bring 10,000 young people to Washington to hold our elected officials accountable for rebuilding our economy and reclaiming our future through bold climate and clean energy policy.
From February 27th to March 2nd, 2009 young people from across the country will converge on Washington D.C. to take a message of bold, comprehensive and immediate federal climate action to Capitol Hill.
