In a short time, you'll get key updates on an important issue and take collective action to resist the attacks on clean air and water, climate action, environmental justice, our democracy, and more. Join with others to view a clip from the national action hour, discuss, and take action together! Pizza will be provided but please bring your own non-alcoholic beverage."
