Is the Augusta Civic Engagement Hub live?

Good morning, Abdullah
I hope all is a well as can be possible in your world during these times.
I truly enjoyed the inaugural Augusta meeting and look forward to the next one.
Is the calendar up and running? Our next 50501 Augusta collaborative event is 6/13 and centers on creating allyship with the Hispanic Community. Once the Mobile link is up I would love to share it with the list here but feel awkward blasting the email since I don't have express permission from everyone.
In the mean time we're continuing to do the work which right now entails fighting against data centers here in Augusta - Richmond Co. We won a tiny victory on 6/2 but the fight is far from over. We need to educate more Augustans on the damages these centers cause in order to mobilize them. We would love your help on that.
However, I'm reaching out today on a more pressing issue. We are supporting the Unitarian Universalist Church of Augusta's fundraiser to charter a bus in order to transport 55 Augustans to and from Atlanta on 6/17 to take part in the anti gerrymandering events of the day. The seats will be first come, first served and free of charge. The cost for 1 bus is $2600 and totally reachable provided enough people are made aware. I've attached the flyer and ask that you share this far and wide. Let's do this thing!
Yours in Y'allidarity,
Dorothy J. Smith co lead
