In the almost one year since, I've made good progress on my post-NASA list of to-dos. Among the top of the list is how best to continue the kind of work I'd been doing at NASA in other spaces and via other means.

Third Act is a fast-growing community of aging hippies and other third actors (😆), as well as younger generations, currently engaged in two related campaigns: (1) Banking on our Future (https://thirdact.org/our-work/banking-on-our-future/) and (2) Safeguarding our Democracy (https://thirdact.org/our-work/safeguarding-our-democracy/). The current focus of Banking on our Future is the upcoming National Day of Action to Stop Dirty Banks on March 21.

When both https://www.sierraclub.org/ and https://www.sunrisemovement.org/ are supporting something, that says a lot. The National Day of Action will be peaceful, joyful, and impactful, as we aim to raise the awareness in people's minds of the connection between dirty banks and the climate crisis.
