We opened up our program with passing the hat in support of Standing Rock and sent $40 to Roberto Monge’s Go Fund Me for the Tech Warrior Camp. Please help “warrior up” by donating to the cause here: https://www.gofundme.com/techwarriorcamp
Everything is connected to everything else. Everything is a mirror. Let’s look in the mirror and see who we are and what we stand for. Below are some local events that you can support by attending. Let’s start showing up! Let’s start harvesting rainwater! Let’s start installing more greywater systems. Let’s start insisting on more Low Impact Development in our city streets! Let’s all stand up for Standing Rock!
Let’s all do whatever we can.
