Shift The Tide is closing the information gap between the environmentalist movement and the Average Joe. Our goal is to create an accessible source for ideas about conservation and the small changes everyone can make to help keep the planet healthy.

C.A.F.E. is a community space that is being created in downtown Fresno. It is a space dedicated to youth activism and empowerment, available to any activist in Fresno who needs a space for a project, workshop, movie night or lecture. We are making this a safe space for everyone, with an emphasis on addressing sexism, homophopia, classism, speciesism, racism, and ageism in Fresno.
The projects currently being worked on are Food Not Bombs, Community Free Grocery, Fresno Needle Exchange, a community garden, a Womyn's night, a self-defense class, and a zine library.

Our project involves getting cloth grocery bags printed with our school's name, and then to offer them to people at local grocery stores for a donation. The money that we collect will be donated to Ijams Nature Center, a local organization whose mission is to "Increase knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of the natural world by providing quality enviromental educational programs and nature-related experiences for all people." (see www.ijams.org)

TIP Teens got together and walked from one park to another [about 1/2-3/4 miles apart] and picked up trash in the parks and along the road. It was really fun because you got to meet new people and socialize, while helping the environment. A local news channel even did a feature story on getting it organized.
