[Platform-fossilfuels] Secure Green Future Training - June 13

[NL Wood]

John and all,
Because of a previous commitment, I am unable to be at the June 13th 
training.
However, I do want to collect signatures in my area and will encourage 
others to do so as well.

Could we have a sheet of information that details the things we need to 
know?
For example, what are the do's and don'ts of this signature campaign?  
E.g., do all the signatures on a sheet have to be from the same city or 
town?  Does a signer have to be a registered voter?  How will the 
validity of these signatures be ascertained and by whom, where?
Thanks.
Nancy
