Working Groups
Tonight we focus on the Working Groups –
⭐ Each group will take about 3-4 minutes to fill us in on what they are up to during the first part of the meeting.
The goal for each group is to keep the larger group up to date on action steps – how they can participate as needs arise in urgency – there is so much we need to do!
Each working group is an umbrella topic, meaning there are many actions that need attention in each group. You will have the opportunity to join a group Tuesday night. There you can speak up, support a cause, and get your idea supported. Bring your research, ask questions, find out how you can get involved at your comfort level. There is room for everyone! No task is too small. Every effort is needed.
