Political Strategy: Wednesday, November 16th at 6:00 pm

Do you know the ins and outs of working with elected officials in New York City, New York State or the federal government?

The Political Strategy working group is looking for new members to plan and carry out strategy to approach and negotiate with government officials to advance our demands.

Arts: Wednesday, November 16th at at 7:00 pm

The Arts working group designs the bright, beautiful and creative spectacles that make XR actions distinctive. We are a network of artists of all kinds: musicians, sculptors, painters, dancers, actors, visionaries, and those just willing to pitch in. Our banners and flags are a labor of love and we need lots of hands to make them. 

Join here. No registration is needed.
