Hi all,
Here is what is being said about freeway fighting this week. If you come across any articles, feel free to share and please let me know if you have any questions.
Don’t forget to join America Walks on July 28 from 3:30-5:00 ET for “Organizing Your Freeway Fight: Creating a Campaign Plan.” This workshop will give an overview of how to develop a campaign plan to achieve your goals. Register here so they have a rough headcount and can adjust the workshop’s curriculum accordingly. Also, the workshop is intended to be hands-on! So if you have a campaign plan and are comfortable sharing it for feedback, you can upload it here.
*Please note the next edition of the Freeway Fighters Digest will be on 8/5/22.*
