Great turn out for our Jessica Conard at the Bucknell University Campus Theater in Lewisburg, PA this week. Jess worked with Sandy & the SOS team & our devoted allies at Clean Air Council @climatereality & more to lead the charge to send a chemical recycling facility packing.

We’re in Lewisburg to hear Jessica Conard & a panel from Climate Reality: Pittsburgh & SWPA 🌎 & Save Our Susquehanna on Encina and what happens next.

We’ll be live tweeting the meeting. Tune into this thread 🧵

Sandy Field is a dear colleague who I am so proud to work alongside. A true leader and so deserving of this important recognition! Congrats, Sandy! Climate Reality
