Taking up a cause in older age can add meaning and community to people’s lives, and be a powerful example to younger activists.

  1. We were excited to see someone from your group was visiting our site. A group dedicated to end fossil fuels.
    Could we do a zoom sometime to visit and compare notes about advocating for our environment?
