Join us on October 7th!
With news cycles dominated by doom and gloom, it can be easy to miss the buds of hope sprouting all around us. This Wednesday, we're shining a light directly on a blooming movement of communities that are using local laws to phase out fossil fuels and fast track clean energy solutions.
Stand.earth is partnering with the eDemocracy Webinar Series from Ethelo to bring you this event. On Wednesday, we'll learn together how local rule-making is being used to move away from oil and gas expansion and instead chart a path forward for community health and safety, a just transition to renewable energy, and livable, resilient communities.
Feel free to share this invitation with others who would like to join – this event is virtual and free.
