[NH Youth Movement: Keene/Monadnock 🌄 @NHYMKeene]

We were really let down by @BetoORourke tonight for not taking
The @NoFossilMoney Pledge.

Young people in NH are looking for leaders that stand with us & not PACs executives or fossil fuel lobbyists #nhpolitics #FITN

@drvox Visit India with our first group of #climate #gapyear students, watching the power of how volunteering and regular old fashioned conversation with climate experts are helping young people convert the rage fueling the #climatestrike into the skills they can apply to solve this.

New world commerce.

Took a little break this evening from a full day of climate conversations to go watch Captain Marval at the mall. It was awesome.
