SUMMARY:CANYON DEMS SOCIAL HOUR
DESCRIPTION:Join us every Wednesday for our Canyon Dems Social Hour! \nWe know a bunch of our meeting attendees miss seeing friendly Democratic faces\, so we’ll be hosting a Social Hour each week to give you a chance to hang out and chat with your Democratic neighbors.  You can join by clicking on the link below or calling in.  If you’ve never used Zoom before\, it will prompt you to install a small web app to launch their software. \nFeel free to drop in and say hi or stay for the whole thing.  This social hour won’t be recorded–it’s just for fun! But please don’t share anything on your screen that wouldn’t want someone in the public to see. \nNOTE: This will be a free and open format hang out with very light moderation. Please keep it civil and courteous and we reserve the right to remove folks that don’t. \nSee you there! \nZOOM MEETING INFO\nTime: May 20\, 2020 07:00 PM Pacific Time (US and Canada) \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/84861670172 \nMeeting ID: 848 6167 0172\nOne tap mobile\n+14086380968\,\,84861670172# US (San Jose)\n+16699006833\,\,84861670172# US (San Jose) \nDial by your location\n+1 408 638 0968 US (San Jose)\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 646 876 9923 US (New York)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Germantown)\nMeeting ID: 848 6167 0172 \n\n\n                    \n                        \n                        \n                    \n\n        \n        How is Climate Change Affecting Our Community?How fast is it happening?What can WE do to fight it?\n \nClimate change is the greatest threat to our existence.
