Massachusetts Power Shift is the youth-led climate organizing body of Massachusetts.
As you know, climate change has the potential to intensify natural disaster, drastically alter ecosystems, affect widespread social conflict, and expedite massive extinction. As a developed country and one of the leading emitters of green house gases, America has a moral obligation to address the risks of climate change and prevent the potential devastation.
Luckily, the solutions required to address climate change also help to solve many of our nation’s other problems, including the current economic recession by creating millions of Green Jobs; and terrorism by eliminating the need to import oil from unfriendly regimes.
As a state historically at the helm of many progressive movements, Massachusetts must rise to the occasion and lead America by example. Our state can confront climate change when its citizens express concern and get involved! You are crucial to this movement because of the unique insight, passion and talent you possess. You see the importance in public decision-making, challenging apathy and adding your voice to the movement. Together we can solve the defining challenge of this generation. Join the Massachusetts Power Shift!

Great organization and worthy pursuit.
3 quick comments/questions.
1. In your RSS for Mapsblog feed you might want to put a title in the metadata > It’s reading ‘untitled source’ in RSS newsreaders.
2. The About page in the WordPress template has no information on Masspowershift.org
3. How would you feel about a 40something serial entrepreneur joining the organization? I’m sussing out a new project addressing the green economy.
Keep up the great work.
