Pumped about the 2008 elections? Want to help mobilize the biggest youth turnout EVER? How about joining a massive youth movement demanding a clean and just energy economy from our elected officials?

Want to make a difference by going out to register voters and mobilize in support of a clean energy economy at festivals, parties, and concerts? Go to candidate appearances and tell them that the youth demand action and we WILL hold them accountable to every promise they make during the campaign?

Join the League of Young Voters Education Fund in Brooklyn as we organize POWERVOTE: a national non-partisan effort spearheaded by the Energy Action Coalition that aims to bring millions of young voters together in demanding political leadership with an inspiring vision for our future.

A vision that will revitalize our economy and protect communities. One that will create jobs while reducing global warming pollution. One that will end the economic chokehold of giant corporations who are raking in billions of dollars in giveaways and record profits.

With Power Vote we will make clean energy and a new, green economy top priorities in this election. We will get millions of our friends pledged to vote and support clean and just energy. We will vote in record numbers on November 4. And we will hold every elected representative accountable to making our vision a reality.

We’re going to make it happen, and we need YOU to help us collect pledges and get out the vote. We’re working hard, making change, and having fun!

We'll be having our first street team happy-hour hangout meeting on Friday, September 5th, at Habana Outpost at 757 Fulton St. at S. Portland St. From 6-9PM. RSVP if you can, but either way just show up with your friends and look for us in our League shirts!
