Mission Statement
The Power Shift Network mobilizes the collective power of young people to mitigate climate change and create a just, clean energy future and resilient, thriving communities for all.
About This Cause
Our Network Model A network is made up of interconnected nodes and horizontal relationships, each adding to the strength and resilience of the whole. Power Shift Network members don’t just work through our staff and programs: they also connect with, collaborate with, and support one another. We grow the capacity of our members through training, skill-sharing, and mentorship, identify and develop rising leaders, foster connections, and facilitate conversations. As a flexible network, we’re able to move quickly in a rapidly changing world. As a community, we’re able to build long-term trust and alignment for joint action. Our Guiding Principles We believe in supporting, convening, and mobilizing young people to build and carry out innovative campaigns. We believe that we must resist climate impacts, pollutants, and the fossil fuel industry AND seed and spread community-based solutions that foster social, economic, and environmental justice. We believe that ownership and control of power matters, and that to achieve our vision we must work to distribute ownership of energy, wealth, and social and political power. We believe that those less directly harmed by extractive economies and climate change must stand in solidarity with those who are. We believe that collaboration and diversity makes us stronger, and is crucial to realizing our vision. We believe that our shared vision of a more just, equitable, and sustainable world is possible and the journey to it reflects a long history of movements creating bold shifts in power. We believe in bottom-up governance based on trust, accountability, and transparency, and taking action as the essential expression of making decisions. We believe in embracing experimentation and growing through failure; we learn through honest conversation and peer evaluation. As a network, we also support and endorse the Jemez Principles for Democratic Organizing.
