    Our Community for Earth members stepped up and helped organize a deeply moving panel discussion and information fair on Frontline Communities and Environmental and Climate Justice: A Just Transition. We got great support from Rev. Bill Sinkford, social justice director Dana Buhl, and our friends and allies from the NAACP, OPAL, APANO, NAYA and the Oregon Just Transition Alliance. What inspiring leaders!

    Took photos of migrating and resident Great Blue Heron, Bald Eagles, Sandpipers, Snowy Plovers and Brants in Willapa Bay and the mouth of Columbia River. Cold and sometimes rainy (and sleety!), but did wonders for our souls.
