OXYLENT is a proud sponsor of Be The Shift
February 1st, 2010: South Dakota's Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe declared a state of emergency after a severe ice storm devastated the reservation. The storm toppled more than 3,000 power poles and left 13,000 people without power, heat, or water. In addition, the area’s water system is outdated and operating at capacity, leaving the tribe no room for economic expansion and preventing its housing authority from building new homes or any new development. The system is keeping an impoverished nation impoverished, which is acerbating the very poor economy of the area with 86% current unemployment rate.
Actors from the Twilight Saga and other celebrities have been working with United Global Shift, to create a project called Shift the Power To The People, whose mission is to empower people to create sustainable, lasting change in their communities and countries. To bring awareness of the current issues and conditions, Twilight Saga cast members and celebrities gathered early June 14 at popular Los Angeles club Industry, along with over 500 guests mostly representing entertainment industry and Native American tribes who attended to support the Be the Shift campaign.
In addition to Twilight saga’s Chaske Spencer, Julia Jones, Tinsel Korey, Alex Meraz, and Rick Mora, the event was supported by actors Tyson Houseman, Carla-Rae Holland, Cody Jones, Sonny Skyhawk, Alexandra Keller, Michele Laurant, and Armand Assante, who has been an environmentalist farm owner for over 20 years. Also in the house were Actress Q'orianka Kilcher, who is singer Jewel's first cousin, an accomplished singer/songwriter, and an activist for human rights; Jay Tavare, who appeared in 2003's Cold Mountain; Actress Calista Carradine; founder and CEO of Zappo's Shoes, Tony Hsieh, with his new book, Delivering Happiness; Veteran Native American Actor Saginaw Grant; Mike Weber of ONEHOPE wine; and choreographer and actor Joe Slaughter.
“Be the voice of those who don’t have voice” Chaske Spencer said to open his remarks.
Celebrities and guests left clutching their gift bags, which contained Oxylent.
