💭 Final Thoughts

Thank you for reading the network newsletter. For me it inspires a lot of gratitude for all the efforts to protect our communities and environment from oil & gas. I’m also aware that we’re only showcasing a small snapshot of the efforts happening around the US where HHN operates.

This is very much a collaborative effort, so please continue to share your updates and encourage others to join HHN and help build a stronger and more connected movement to fight oil & gas.

Sincerely,
Ryan, Kevin, Marty, Raina, and Krishna
