Thursday, November 21, 3-4pm, this on-line event requires advance registration
The election results are in, and a second Trump administration will be hostile to science and to the evidence-based solutions we need to protect public health and reduce the impacts of climate change. We are going to need scientists and science advocates to stay vigilant to hold our decision-makers accountable and protect against attacks on science.

“Inhale/Exhale” is a space for restorative healing for organizers and activists in our lovely ecosystem. We welcome all organizers in the progressive and left movements to honor their bodies by resting and entering this space to learn ways to heal. In this installment, we will focus on “rest post-election.” We need rest in order to build capacity for the world we want to see. We rest intentionally so that we can make space for the dream. Please sign up to attend this lovely event!
