> Dear Friends, 
> We hope you'll join us this Saturday April 28th for dialogue and learning with those who are building sustainability and resiliency in their communities around the world. With a bioregional, place-based lens, we are particularly interested in efforts created by local actors-either by those in the communities or by ex-patriots from these communities. As international citizens, we are asking how do we collaborate with and support these efforts? PLEASE SHARE. This is free and open to the public! See below for the agenda.
