Friends,

The national LWVUS wants to establish an information conduit to the state and local Leagues for the specific purpose of sharing climate information and resources.  Please review the introductory email below and let me know if you have any questions.  I'd like to create a Google Group or something similar to connect us in New Mexico more easily.  If you have any ideas, please let me know.  

Finally, if there are any other League members who should be included in this communication, please forward their email to me.

I'm currently in NYC helping organizers on the ground prepare for the big March to End Fossil Fuels on Sunday, Sept. 17.  Over 500 groups have endorsed the march, including some from New Mexico.  

Thanks!
Lora
