And we’re going to lay out our plan to win — together.. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/2193751557412110/">https://www.facebook.com/events/2193751557412110/</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>_______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>_______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#7030A0'>Climate Action: Let's #TransformTO Together<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Tues.
