Remembering Kingston

Austyn would also like you to think about these questions ahead of time (nothing needs to be written in response to them):

2. How can you connect those issues to climate change?
3. How can you connect them to other communities?

Here are some additional stories Austyn sent to us, if you would like to read more:
