Hello everybody and welcome back to Rev Left Radio.

I'm your host, Brett O'Shea, and today on we have Jack, Noah, and Ineia from Climate Vanguard

in your organizing circles and you need some resources, this is a wonderful way to get them

at a cheaper cost to you in your organization, but just individually if you need to shore up
