Monthly Green Acton Meetings are usually on the 2nd Tuesday of the month (except for August). These meetings are sometimes digital and sometimes in-person: check the announcements list a couple of days before the meeting, or contact the clerk. Monthly meetings are a terrific way to connect with others and plug into the work of Green Acton.
