Voting Rocks!

What do I need?
1. A desire to be involved and have some fun too! There’s no “wrong” voting rock or person who can’t make one. Involve your kids, grandkids, or friends.
2. Pick up some smooth-sided rocks about 4 to 10 inches. River rocks work well. Do not remove rocks from private property!
3. Take the rock home and clean it with warm water and a vegetable brush. Let it dry in the sun.
4. Once it’s dry, paint it! Use acrylic paint as it will be thicker, brighter, and will last longer.
5. If you can find acrylic sealer, that’s a great way to ensure that it’ll be around for the long haul. You can also try spray paints for backgrounds.
6. Use a paint pen (or brush) to put the word VOTE on the stone and any other decoration you like (or none). Or make a grouping of stones with desired wording, like “your vote matters”.
7. Once it’s dry, go back outside and put it where it will be seen. Maybe at the end of your driveway, or on a trail, or at a trailhead.

I'm headed out to gather rocks. Being creative...

For COP29...here’s how members of our Partners Network Group have broken down the composition and representation of this committee represents to see who’s missing.
21 members in total
13 women (61.9%) included
1 Indigenous woman included
No person with disability (PWD) included
No female representation or indigenous voice from South Asia

To truly steer climate action in the right direction, inclusive representation must encompass marginalised and vulnerable groups. This means ensuring that people with disabilities, youth and Indigenous communities have a seat and voice at the decision-making table.

Save this date: Sunday, NOVEMBER 3 for TEDxVailNeXt, with a rousing group of BADA$$ women leaders calling for caring for our planet & people.
