<span class="gmail_quote"></span>Dear Critical Mass bikers,
<p style="margin-top: 0.19in; margin-bottom: 0.19in;"><font face="Arial, sans-serif">I am writing on behalf of the Massachusetts Power Shift </font><font face="Arial, sans-serif">Planning
Committee to inform you, Boston Critical Mass participants, about this incredible
weekend-long summit! </font><span lang="en-us"></span><font face="Arial, sans-serif"> Planned for April 11-14th, Massachusetts Power Shift (MAPS) is
modeled after Power Shift 2007, a national event that drew over 5,500
students to Washington D.C. on November 2-5<sup>th</sup>, with the goal of bringing about strong solutions to the climate and poverty crises at hand. To learn more, please visit <a href="http://www.masspowershift.org">www.masspowershift.org</a>.<br>
</font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.19in; margin-bottom: 0.19in;"><font face="Arial, sans-serif">As
a student at Smith College, I am working with a network of students from
across Massachusetts to replicate the success of Power Shift in our
backyard: downtown Boston. The weekend-long summit, complete with
workshops, community strategy sessions, a green art exhibit, lobby day,
musical performances, and speakers will educate, inspire, connect, and
activate hundreds, if not thousands, of future and current world-changers. We are bringing together dozens
of different groups from across the state in this effort, and we would love you and your fellow bikers help in reaching our full potential! <br></font></p><p style="margin-top: 0.19in; margin-bottom: 0.19in;"><font face="Arial, sans-serif">First we want to extend the invitation to attend the conference to each of you. Early registration is only $10 at <a href="http://www.masspowershift.org">www.masspowershift.org</a>. Second, we invite you and any organization or community you might be a part of to join our effort to plan this amazing conference!<br>
