🌐 Website 👤 Facebook 🐦 Twitter⭐️ Erin Anacker on John:
“John is one of the most remarkable people I've ever met. Perhaps his greatest strength is communication—he has an uncanny ability to meet people where they're at and bring them along in a new way of thinking.”
🌈 John‘s vision for the Tri-Cities
“We need to keep on the current trajectory of grassroots community building that's been happening in the last 5 years. We need to double down on the opportunity that we have to be a true global focal point for clean energy technologies.”
Bulgogi or Bibimbop from Rice & Noodles on Court Street in Pasco. Unparalleled in the Tri.
I love Tumbleweed Music Festival. Stripped-down music opens me up in a whole different way. Who knew a sea shanty could make you cry?
I love going to Adventures Underground and browsing the used Just Arrived shelf. I've found some of the most mind-expanding volumes of my life on that shelf.
NAMI is doing incredible grassroots mental health advocacy work.
Steve Ghan is a climate scientist going to incredible lengths to educate and advocate for transformative climate policy.
Zahra Roach is courageously living out her values in the political sector, a very difficult space.
NAMI is always looking for people with personal experience of mental illness (or as a family member) to be trained and then volunteer to share their experience.
Make sure to you come to David V35's show at Drewboy Sept. 20!
I encourage everyone to join Citizen's Climate Lobby and to support the Sunrise Movement.
