Third Act?

Is anyone involved in the group Third Act? It's for people 60+ who want to help with climate and democracy activism. The Maryland chapter is doing a lot. I'm going to be doing an informational Zoom meeting with them next week.

on April 5th. A lot of people will be joining the protests in cities across the US. It's growing by the day. I expect many more will pop up before that date.

They sound like a good group. One of the leaders is Bill McKibben, who has been on Rachel's show several times. They originally started out as a climate action group, but have pivoted towards protecting democracy. We're going to join the DC/MD/VA working group.
