[Green] Fwd: Watch the complete 2025 Strategy Summit + breakout sessions with our new recap blog!

Mon Feb 10 09:30:24 CST 2025

Check out this email about what ReImagine Appalachia is up to. Pretty
impressive!! And please don't forget about our Hour of Environmental Action
this Thursday evening at 7 p.m., when Amanda Woodrum of that very
organization will meet with us (via Zoom) to discuss sustainable
development in Marietta and in the Mid-Ohio Valley. We greenies so often
"oppose" things (justifiably), but sustainable development is something we
can support, encourage, and back with enthusiasm--if only we had more
information and ideas. Thursday night will be that opportunity!  Notice
that I've invited Geoff Shenkel, the City of Marietta's Development
Director to join us. I hope he can, and I hope you can, too!

We'll be* live in the FUUSM social hall*, and on Zoom at
https://zoom.us/j/96052465552?pwd=SW1vWituTFlwc01vN2VLMzBQTWplZz09

Meeting ID: 960 5246 5552
Passcode: fuusm2323

One hour of your time, 7-8 Thursday, is all we're asking of you to do
something positive for the Earth!  And, then, maybe some follow-up on your
own!!

Co-chair hat for the moment.

Shifts in our political climate have everyone asking what we can anticipate
about the future of federal funding, programs, and resources. What
resources are available for us to continue to grow a bright future for
Appalachia, and what strategies might communities consider to maximize the
benefits for their communities? This panel addressed questions including:
What funding is going to stay, what new opportunities will open up, and how
can we be ready to bring that funding to our communities?

Multi-community regional partnerships build sustainable, economic strength
across political spectrums and election cycles. Regional multi-municipal
grant applications are often more competitive and efficient, which may be
more important in this new political environment. What are some examples of
municipalities and surrounding communities working together to build out
infrastructure, save taxpayer dollars, and offer new services? What
entities will be important in encouraging further collaboration, and how
can we incentivize this?

In this panel, leaders from labor, environmental justice and economic
development sectors discussed what’s next for the Ohio River Valley of
Appalachia and the work to build a more sustainable, equitable economy.
With changes coming in the federal government, where are the ongoing
opportunities for key stakeholder groups to continue our work together for
a better collective future? What are the win-win-win organizing efforts
that labor, environment and racial justice leaders should undertake
together in 2025?
