Action Team

Mission:  The Action Team is a way to become involved with a variety of get-out-there-and do-something actions and events. We work well together and have fun as well as providing a visible and potent impact on the community and beyond. Welcome to all who are passionate about preserving a just and livable future for all life on planet Earth, and wish to choose from a variety of actions and activities to make a difference.  We meet each month (except Nov & Dec) at 4:00 pm on the third Thursday and occasionally hold ad hoc planning meetings to strategize or prepare for various actions and events. 

Ad Hoc action meetings and events are posted online through our Action Team email list and will show up in your inbox if you are affiliated with this committee. If you are not on our mailing list, are a member of 100Grannies, and wish to be part of the Action Team, please email 100Granniesaction@gmail.com and you will be added.
