The spring and summer are going to be a busy and exciting time for energy activists in Skagit County. There are important policy decisions on both coal and oil terminals coming up and exciting events that will draw national attention to our region. We started meeting last month, and we were excited at the big showing of volunteers, activists and organizers.
This month we will continue mapping out the plan for the next six months. Whether you have additional projects that need to be on the calendar, or if you just want to know what’s going on, this is a good chance to get connected.
Wednesday May 4 5:30 – 7:00 pm – Skagit County Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, 500 W Section Street, Mount Vernon, WA 98273
