<p class="aolmail_MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt">Hi Folks,</p>
<p class="aolmail_MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt"><br>
</p>
<p class="aolmail_MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt">Greetings from Washington, DC, where shortly, we will be participating in the People' Climate March. If you are not able to join a local msrch, Democracy Now is live streaming the event--see link below.</p>
<p class="aolmail_MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt"><br>
</p>
<p class="aolmail_MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt">We arrived last week to participate in Ecumenical Advocacy Days, this year's theme based on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s speech on Vietnam that focused on the triplets of racism, militarism, and materialism.
We also participated in the DC March for Science--about 120,000 in the rain, but it was a good event. Monday was Lobby Day--visiting congressional offices.</p>
<p class="aolmail_MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt"><br>
</p>
<p class="aolmail_MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt">While here we gave a presentation on The Doctrine of Discovery at the Oblates Residence with their Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation Committee. Also doing PC (USA) Earth Care presentations at Potomac
PC and Westminster PC, Marie Sharp's church. </p>
<p class="aolmail_MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt"><br>
</p>
<p class="aolmail_MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt">Off to the march--hopefully connecting with Dick Alton and Sally Yost who will also be there.</p>
