SM VIRTUAL CONNECTIONS: LOOKING BACK AT 2020, LOOKING FORWARD TO 2021 |
In response to the pandemic and racial injustice, SM convened 11 Virtual Connections in 2020. These one-hour, open-forum Zoom chats covered a lot of ground this year, including police violence against people of color; adaptive responses to COVID at the local level; transportation issues like Maglev, expansion of the Beltway, and the travails of the Purple Line; and local Actions like composting, food security funding, and climate action planning. But perhaps the most important outcome was the ability to connect with others doing similar work, share ideas and inspiration and definitely a laugh or two, and always in a respectful way.
The SM staff are grateful to have been able to facilitate these virtual connections over the past year, and look forward to the time when, in the not too distant future, we'll be seeing you all "in real life". Until then, starting again in January, expect a SM Virtual Connection each month, beginning Friday, January 15 at 4:30pm.

"As the United States moves forward, it must put frontline communities — often poor, Black, brown or Indigenous — at the center of the climate agenda. They have suffered disproportionate harm from climate pollution."
-Al Gore, 45th vice-president of the United States, in recent op-ed Where I Find Hope
