Wed Jan 21st Community Forum on Make Polluters Pay and Threats of Offshore Oil Drilling

It was great to see about 120 people at this event, with excellent local speakers, Gary Patton, Dan Haifley and Justin CummIngs as well as a zoom appearance by Dawn Adams.

Due to technical difficulties we were unable to show this great encouraging video by John Laird.

Here is the recording of the last 2/3 of the program.
