Many of you have expertise in this area as well, so Nancy will open the hour with her experience, but then we will have not just a Q&A but a discussion...so other expertise is welcome!
Andrew Torbert will also be on the call as support as he has experience as he "worked at Greenpeace in New Zealand during (and after) the election of Jacinda Ardern, which ended 9 years of Tory rule there and thus was a complete change in government like the UK is facing if polls are accurate."
