PROGRESSTIVAL & PEOPLE POWER

What happens at an Activist Fair?  Well, the organizers of Saturday's 2018 Progresstival's mission was "Fostering an ECOSYSTEM of  ACTIVISM for community members  to connect with groups working to make our world more sustainable, more just, more cooperative, more peaceful."

I am including the community groups which signed up to participate because even if you don't live in this region , there are similar groups where you live. We all need to become activists!

'Power to the People' seems pretty relevant today. Get involved.
