Join us for this talk by Dr. Susan Donaldson of 350 Massachusetts to start our third and final chapter of Commit to Your Community: Advocate for Change. 

Dr. Donaldson will outline the scope of the climate challenge and the rationale for local grassroots action. She'll talk about some of the ways that people can engage in activism and describe several state and local issues where people power is critical. In particular, she'll highlight an issue that specifically involves Wakefield, and that may soon be getting a lot of statewide attention. She'll also introduce us to a few organizations that people might want to connect with.
