Social Media Post: Patagonia Area Resource Alliance

Last Saturday, we were grateful to join the Environmental Defense Fund for the graduation of the Southern Arizona Water Leadership Institute at the Wittner Museum in Nogales.

Congratulations to this amazing cohort. We can wait to see what you lead in this next generation!

When we presented for the group last month, a participant asked "how do you do this work and not remain angry all the time"

Our answer "we are angry, but connecting with real people in real life is the key to finding joy in this work."
