But the other is using my current solo show, "The Boycott" to help groups raise awareness and money.
"The Boycott" is a one-woman show in which the First Lady of the US launches a nationwide sex strike to combat global warming.

Poem Read at Transition Charlotte Meeting March 16, 2009
The Hopi Elders Speak —The Elders, Oraibi Arizona Hopi Nation
We Are the Ones We've Been Waiting For

Les Squires said… - Welcome Kathryn and soon to be Transition Vermont! We've had a lot of interest recently from Vermont. I see you've already connected with George. It would be great if we set up Transition Vermont soon on a similar pattern to http://transitioncolorado.ning.com what do you think?
We invite you to go to Starting Local Groups on Transition US and then to Vermont. Tell us a little more about what's happening in Charlotte. This Charlotte visible to other groups in Vermont and elsewhere around the world. Be sure to ask questions as they arise.
