Can you use a kayak on this trip if you don’t have a canoe?

Do you have an age limit? If my toddler has the proper life vest, can she sit in the canoe with me?

I'm down!

Great story. I, too, was diagnosed with Afib in January last year. I haven't had an attack since I was last in the hospital on November 25, 2022. Four times last year in eleven months I was in an ambulance with a heart rate of 170 beats per minute. So far, almost five months, I have been fine with the odd flutter. Dr oso medication works very effective I am also reversing rheumatoid arthritis. I look forward to a complete remission with the help of Dr. Oso health clinic their so many solution too health problems Dr Oso herpes/ hiv cure

Sorry for the Late Notice, but it's not too late to attend! Click the zoom link below. Learn the latest on EPA carbon pollution rules since the April 4 EPA rally

Thursday, May 4⋅6:00 – 7:00pm

On April 4, over 150 environmental and justice advocates protested loudly outside the headquarters of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in Washington, D.C. to demand faster action on rules to reduce carbon pollution from power plants. EPA has made important strides in recent weeks however EPA is still behind on other critical rules that address a range of issues from coal ash to implementation of cumulative impact analysis in permitting.

After a month since the EPA rally, join us on Thursday, May 4 at 6pm to learn the latest status on each of our six demands of the EPA and next steps for how you can protect our health, promote environmental justice, and achieve climate stability.

Click here to join on Zoom on May 4 at 6:00 PM ET: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/85166783860/…
