Fall Plans for Climate Strike & Treaty Actions 

You won't want to miss the details about upcoming mobilizations and actions WILPF US is supporting in September and October. We'll hear from feminist economist and environmentalist  Gwendolyn Hallsmith  about the exciting preparations being made across the US for the Sept. 20th CLIMATE STRIKE  actions WILPF is supporting.   We'll also hear more  details about the developing resources for the October TREATIES KEEP THE PEACE Solidarity Action , our last of 2019 .  

Gwen Hallsmith consults with cities across the country on implementing more sustainable policies, writes frequently about the economy and our environment, and recently arranged a FLOTILLA to welcome young Greta Thunberg to New York City harbor.

Gwen lives in an EcoVillage in Vermont where she grows her own food and is deeply involved in supporting local food advocacy in Vermont. Her most recent article is called SHOW ME THE MONEY: HOW WILL WE PAY FOR THE GREEN NEW DEAL.  

And NANCY PRICE will announce an exciting new Earth Democracy Issue Committee project for which they recently received a grant from the Patagonia Foundation. This is the effort to collect health data from communities near military bases where chemical contamination is endangering public health.
