Opening poem 

Sponsored by Word to Action: 

Word to Action is a writing retreat that addresses climate action through poetry by engaging students. The first one in October was a success despite the pandemic restrictions.  Word to Action is happy to sponsor this call to keep the discussion going until the next in-person retreat. 2022? We’ll have check-ins throughout this year. Maybe a new format for Word-to-Action emerges.
