FROM SEJ PARTNER, WAHLEAH JOHNS AT BLACK MESA WATER COALITION

****************************************************************************************

Dear friends and family,

Power Shift 2009 Aftermath! 

A few weeks ago, over 10,000 young people gather in Washington DC to lobby U.S. Congress on climate change, clean energy and green jobs!  Among them were 200 Native American students from the U.S. and Canada who participated in the largest youth climate conference ever!  Black Mesa Water Coalition took about 40 Indigenous students from the southwest.  Thank you to all who supported these students in the fund raising effort to get them to and from Washington DC safely.  Please visit the website for Power Shift, http://www.powershift09.org/ and/or www.blackmesawatercoalition.org for more info.
