We are pleased to partner with Start:Empowerment and their co-host Dandelions Assembly for the fourth annual Earth Month Convergence (EMC)—a space to build, strategize, and care for one another and the earth in the face of escalating crises. This is a space for organizers, educators, artists, healers, and all who know another world is possible. Join us and walk away with deeper connections, strategies, and tangible ways to tackle local and global environmental justice issues.
