We are joining 60 climate leaders and activists across Thailand. Thailand Power Shift highlights the need for grassroots collective action while linking it to the global efforts to shift power beyond dirty and destructive energy sources like coal and mega-dams.

Last night, the room radiates with so much love and hope as we lit a candle remembering the survivors and victims of Typhoon Haiyan. Participants send out their hearts to the Philippines as they stood up for Climate Justice. Participants from frontline communities also shared their local stories and determination to take action.

It was an amazing day and now we are headed to Day 2. According to Supanuth Bell, 350 Thailand Team Leader, “…if we move people’s hearts, we can move the world!”  And I couldn’t agree with her more. We needed people whose hearts are ready and open to change the world.
