SUMMARY:Redesigning Our Communities for Life After Fossil Fuels
DESCRIPTION:It’s time to scale way back\, redesign how we’re living and roll up our sleeves to restore our ecosystems\, soil\, biodiversity\, and connections with our neighbors. \nAs we learn and take action on how to live within the Earth’s limits\, it’s vital that we co-invent and redesign our new lifestyles with every member of our community\, especially our underserved community members\, and even look to them for their expertise on how to be resilient. \nToo often\, communities of color and low income communities have been left out of the conversation\, the plans and the funding\, despite often being the most seriously impacted by the climate and other crises. Let’s move forward by coming together\, learning from one another\, and supporting each other as we strengthen our resilience and face the challenges ahead. \nJoin us! \nSuggested Donation:  $25   (sliding scale & scholarships available)  \n  \nNote:  We want you to join us more than anything\, so in addition to our sliding scale options\, we have scholarship options available to those in need. Please email staff@bio4climate.org to receive a scholarship registration.
