You can do a little or you can do a lot! Change only happens if the people put enough pressure on those in charge. We need to be loud, numerous, and tenacious – do not back down! See actions listed below.
If you know of any events coming up or have suggestions on other actions to defeat the RTO mandate, please let us know.
