REFLECTION QUESTIONEnacting Equity Learn About Accessible & Equitable Voter RegistrationWhy is voting important to creating a just, sustainable, and thriving world? In what other ways can you actively participate in important decision-making?
Shawna Stonum 10/18/2022 8:00 AMMy parents always told me "If you don't vote, don't gripe!" I passed that on to my children. Democracy only works if all voices are heard at the ballot box. It saddens me to know that some voices have been suppressed for a very long time.
Participate! Demonstrations, surveys, petitions, letters to leaders of all ranks, and sometimes visiting the capital buildings and attending sessions. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONRegenerating Nature Use Resources for Climate AnxietyIs climate anxiety a new concept for you or something you have been following for sometime?
Shawna Stonum 10/08/2022 9:25 AMClimate anxiety is not a new concept to me, but I am not following the topic either. I understand the why of climate anxiety and can appreciate the decisions that people are making as a result. That said, I want to be part of the solutions.
