As we head into the second half of the year, a lot is happening, and a lot is at stake. Our Annual Meeting is coming up on September 20! Help shape our priorities, meet the team behind the work, and connect with decision-makers to guide our future.
In this issue: a look at our year-round lobbying and working groups, a federal update on environmental protections under threat, inspiring podcasts, and a roundup of upcoming events and actions you won’t want to miss.
We’ll close with a heartfelt ask: our summer fundraiser is in full swing, and we need your help to keep up the fight. If you value the work we do, please consider donating today.
