This “Active Group 2” email is in addition to our monthly update that goes to the full list. It’s meant for members who want to take action and don’t mind more frequent messages (about once every 1–2 weeks). In this web version, some sensitive details may be omitted; the best way to stay fully informed is to sign up for the email list.

Our Blue Turn yard signs are available for $5 (our cost), or you’re welcome to contribute more to support future outreach. I still have about 40 signs available; let me know if you’d like one and I’ll leave it on the porch.
