POWER VOTE CHALLENGE WEEK!

Hey guys!! This is Vanida from class, and I will be at the table in the hallway of the EUC for Powervote.org tomorrow 10/9 from 11-12pm, you all should come out and give us 1 minute of your time. We are challenging UNCG to pledge for cleaner energy!


Power Vote Platform
Our generation needs a brand new vision for our future. We need to lead the world towards a just, clean energy economy that moves beyond dirty energy, creates green jobs for all, and secures our climate. Young voters signing our pledge commit to holding our leaders accountable through their sustained involvement, and create a Power Shift.
The Platform..
1. GREEN JOBS NOW Invest in millions of new green jobs, strengthen the American middle class and create new pathways out of poverty for millions more. By retooling our factories, revamping our schools, and rebuilding our communities, we can create a sustainable, just, and prosperous future for all.
2. INVEST IN A CLEAN ENERGY ECONOMY Unleash American ingenuity and launch a new wave of affordable clean energy technology. We need more federal and private investments in public transit, ultra-efficient vehicles, and renewable energy like wind and solar.
3. CUT GLOBAL WARMING POLLUTION NOW To ensure our health, prosperity, and security, scientists tell us we must rapidly drive US global warming pollution towards zero. We can and must accomplish this transition to a clean energy future in an equitable and just manner.
4. END OUR DEPENDENCE ON DIRTY ENERGY Enact an immediate moratorium on new coal, oil, natural gas, and nuclear plant construction and infrastructure, while phasing out existing plants and fossil fuel extraction and ensuring a just transition for the workforce and communities
5. RE-ENGAGE AS A LEADER IN THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY Global warming requires a global solution. We must shift the focus of American foreign policy from military intervention to international cooperation and join the world in pursuing peace and international development, thereby offering assistance to vulnerable and impacted communities.
6. TAKE DIRTY MONEY OUT OF POLITICS It's time to make government accountable to "We the People." Put voters first and refuse campaign contributions from dirty energy interests. Share the Power Vote Platform with your friends!


>>Also wanted to mention that you can pledge on their website and sign up on facebook, and NCSTATE and APPSTATE are one of the top schools that are recuiting awareness, where is UNCG?!?
