Starting June 2, please join us on Tuesdays from 8:30-9am for casual conversation while sipping your morning coffee, tea, or water.

What to expect:
- A quick welcome and check-in
- Casual conversation and connection
- A very brief update on a current issue
- An invitation to take a simple, guided, nonpartisan advocacy action - usually calling your elected representatives
