๐ญ 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. Iโm also aware that weโre 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
