"What will solve that problem? And what must? You and me. All of us, working together! Our advocacy. Our voices. And our tireless work to engage voters so that we can elect ethical, smart, and democracy-loving representatives to office everywhere. "That is what will not just save, but reform and reimagine the country we love. That is what will destroy MAGA Republicanism. That is what will preserve our freedoms." -- Jessica Craven, Chop Wood, Carry Water newsletter, August 15, 2023 POSITIVE CLIMATE AND ENVIRONMENTAL NEWS Check out Jessica Craven's August 20 newsletter for encouraging projects from all over.   Mosier, Oregon, population 500, is bouncing back from a series of environmental challenges by going green in a big way.
