In a surprise development, dozens of young people across the country run for the US Congress. Relying on social media, they do an end-run around the existing power structure, and move from occupying Wall Street, to occupying seats in Congress — where in partnership with a new wave of young green entrepreneurs, they proceed to drive a clean energy future . Possible? You only have to be 25 to run for Congress. If it happens in 2018, it will be today’s 20-year olds who make it so. Help us now to support rising young leaders in green business, politics and policy. Please pass along this word to undergraduates, grad students, and recent graduates: NE C2C Fellows Training LEADERSHIP FOR POLICY AND BUSINESS Bard College November 30-December 2 Application Deadline: November 20th Spring Workshops in Colorado, Michigan, and Oregon Apply Now: the cost of the weekend trainings is $30 including food and lodging.
