Happy September from the Hive!

As we move into the fall season and harvest-tide, the BoCo Climate Justice Hive, who stewards the Boulder dot Earth web portal, wants to express so much gratitude for the outpouring of support, encouragement and growth in this past year. 

Thank you so much for being part of this community, for offering your gifts and efforts to this collective movement, for caring about the future of this planet and peoples, and for being in relationship with the Hive at Boulder.Earth through reading these communications and beyond!

Thank you. 

Since our summer email, we have moved from having met 50% of the $25,000 matching grant opportunity to being over 80% of the way to our goal. THANK YOU! If you haven’t joined this community of support yet but want to, please check it out here.

The Hive has a second birthday coming right up on September 14th!
We’ve grown so much!
