Happy New Year! I hope you all found some moments for rest, relaxation and reflection as we transitioned into a new year. Our next meeting will be on Wednesday, January 25, 6pm - 7:30 pm, with options to meet in person at FUSD or join us via zoom. Look for a reminder with the zoom link closer to that date.
The Climate Justice Project has been busy planning several projects and opportunities for involvement in the new year - take a look.

We'll have an opportunity to sign up for our email list and information on upcoming events.
