year. <br>

<br>
350.org has several groups divestment, fracking, and other
themes. See "350.org" for details on which groups they have and
when and where they meet. Caroline likes their energy and
attitude. We need people attending there to help build coalition.

Sandy agrees: We need to join other coalitions. <br>

Caroline is so thrilled: at the Health Fair this year, they
had for the lunch pizza, plant based, no GMO, vegan, ... .... "Plant
Based Pizza" on Meridian & Willow. The attendees were very
happy and positive about our candidates. People took our
4-candidate fliers. The speakers started late and some of them
(including Sandy) did not get to speak. It was a very good
effective event for Single Payer and for the Green tabling. 3 new
languages added to the Green Party sign. <br>
