I was honored to moderate a discussion at the historic Shepherdstown Opera House about #TheLastClass — Robert Reich’s new film on #WealthInequality
I also had the chance to share themes from my book #Project2027 which focuses on how people can take action right now.

It was #WorldMigratoryBirdDay today and the weather was wonderful. I decided to submit an eBird checklist and had 36 species seen or heard! The unusual birds didn't pose for photos but the feeders were busy with the birds who knew about them. I hadn't spotted a Bluebird since spring. 🪶
