I don’t know why it didn’t occur to me to advertise for this ahead of time to get more Virginia residents to come out, but last weekend at Virginia Power Shift was terrific. I went because of the large environmental activist representation, but it was truly an event for all social activists to learn about issues from racial equality, to fracking, to LGBTQ concerns. I encourage any residents of Virginia (or non-residents, there was one guy from Vermont) to come out to the 2016 Power Shift for a great time of learning and tackling large issues as a community. While mostly a college student event, other members of the community were warmly welcomed and anyone can buy a ticket (only $11 for a weekend of inspiration O:) . This year it took place at The University of Mary Washington and the next location is pending. I will definitely be going again as long as a terrible conflict doesn’t arise, so you should come and say hi! (In the second photo I am against the middle window to the right.
