From April 15th through the 18th, thousands of students and youth will be attending Powershift 2011. This conference has been billed as another opportunity to do something about climate change. Throughout the conference, Democratic politicians from Al Gore to Lisa Jackson will tell us the solution is to lobby, vote and work within the corporate-owned political system to stop climate change. They will tell us that supporting the existing leadership’s policies and the creation of carbon markets will stem the rising tide of carbon emissions slowly destroying our planet. (snip)Of course, those of you who will be attending are expected to arrive in your magic vehicles powered by unicorn farts or crystal sunbeams. Don't you dare show up in something that burns fossil fuels, is powered by electricity generated from coal or oil fired plants.
The facts speak for themselves, the same politicians and corporations that got us into the climate crisis WILL NOT be the ones to get us out of it.
It’s time to change the system, not the climate!
On April 18th, at the end of the Powershift rally in Lafayette Park, we, the North American movements for climate justice, will march to the offices of D.C.’s climate criminals and the politicians that love them to confront them with creative direct action.
Our Reclaim Power! march will take space and disrupt business as usual for the fossil fuel infrastructure.

If you won't march against the "climate criminals", who will? (h/t Katy Pundit)
