We are reflecting on the events of the Town Hall for Collective Action and how these moonwalking planets have affected our lives in this episode! Y'all showed up and showed out! Thank you for joining us for both Town Halls!
[Side Note]: We are tired. Tanks are running low. Rest is needed. So, this is an unedited conversation and we hope you still enjoy the content!
