[fvc-wat-disc] FW: New national network for change coming February 10!

[Dave Arthur]

Some of you may already get these from the David Suzuki Foundation.
This new national network they are starting is rather like what we are trying to do locally – collective effort with other groups.
I know it’s a national network but perhaps we should tune in to how it works.

Dear David,
Last year was characterized by a sense of loneliness for many of us, but it also demonstrated the importance and power of collective action. This is as true for the pandemic as it is for the climate crisis. Whether it’s to protect human health or the health of the planet, thousands of people like you are working locally toward a greener and more just world. Their collective efforts, and yours, show that together we are incredibly powerful.
That’s why on Wednesday, February 10, at 4 p.m. PT / 7 p.m. ET, the David Suzuki Foundation will launch the Future Ground Network, a national network offering support to citizen groups throughout the country, with tools and resources, mentoring and training (and inspiration!), so that together we can act more effectively and see our potential for action multiply. Whether it’s creating urban agriculture projects, building awareness of key environmental issues, advancing sustainable transportation or promoting climate actions, the Future Ground Network will help groups collaborate to bring about the social and ecological transitions we and the planet so badly need.
Do you want to help transform your neighbourhood or municipality? Would you like to register a community group you’re already involved with to take advantage of the network? On February 10 at 4 p.m. PT / 7 p.m. ET, for the length of a Netflix show, join us for our Future Ground Network launch webinar.
The webinar will help you learn about the network and regain hope for a sustainable world, through inspiring and touching stories of people like you working to transform their communities and protect the natural environment. You’ll even hear from David Suzuki himself, as we celebrate these local agents of change and discover the power of collective action.



Register for the launch webinar 




Being part of a national network of people who share values and a vision of a better world will allow you to break through the loneliness of the past year and reconnect in an authentic way with your neighbours, community and planet. When we support each other and commit to a common goal, we see that the impacts are real — and hope is everywhere.
Let's come together and create the future we all want and need.
Sincerely,
The David Suzuki Foundation team
P.S. Feeling inspired? Forward this to a friend and encourage them to RSVP for our February 10 Future Ground Network launch webinar!
