We come together on a regular basis as a community dedicated to finding our way as the old world dies and a new world is born. As we deepen and enrich our connections with each other, we feel supported to do the important work of inner transition. We examine our attitudes, beliefs and assumptions. We share our struggles, fears, anger and grief as well as our joys and successes.
In the words of Joanna Macy, We are all involved in a huge, absolutely necessary transition from the Industrial Growth Society to a Life-Sustaining Society. It is an enormous privilege to be alive at this time and to be playing a part in this transition. It will bring forth our strength, creativity and courage. The choices and decisions we make now will determine if there will be a future for our children and grandchildren. We’re all in this together. Don’t go into isolation. We need to look into each other’s eyes and hold each other’s hands.
We are currently reading Charles Eisenstein’s book, The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know is Possible. Come join us! TTM’s Inner Transition Group meets at 7 PM on the third Thursday of each month. Contact Marion at info@TransitionTownMedia.org for location.
Join with Earth Quaker Action Team (EQAT) on the first Tuesday of every month at 6:30pm.
After five years of action by Earth Quaker Action Team, PNC announced today a shift in its policy that will effectively cease its financing of mountaintop removal coal mining in Appalachia.
Together we have shifted the policy of the seventh largest U.S. bank! This marks a major turnaround for PNC, who for years refused to budge on this issue. After more than 125 actions, their desire to continue business as usual proved no match for EQAT and our allies.
As more and more banks stop financing mountaintop removal, we expect it to become increasingly difficult over the next few years for mountaintop removal coal companies to secure financing for their destructive operations. So, join us in thanking the people of Appalachia who continue to inspire us and take bold action.
Celebrate and share this news widely. Together we have shown that strategic nonviolent direct action makes a difference. EQAT will continue to keep an eye on PNC to be sure that it follows through with this policy change. We will be looking forward to the next campaign.
The Steering Group is the governing body of Transition Town Media. Comprised of representatives of each of the current Working Groups, the officers of TTM, and any other interested and committed members of TTM, this body meets once a month on 2nd Mondays to discuss current projects and initiatives and makes decisions regarding future activities.
Everyone is welcome to attend these meetings and contribute to the discussions. We value your ideas and input.

The Watershed Congress has evolved since 1998 to advance the best available information and techniques for protecting and restoring watersheds. The focus on networking across disciplines means that the Watershed Congress melds science, policy, and practical applications into one program. As a result, the annual Watershed Congress is a highly anticipated event for people interested in understanding, protecting, and restoring their local streams.
This year’s program features a keynote on community building and engagement efforts to move inclusively, build awareness, and activate urban youth and adults in water protection, as well as information-packed breakout sessions, presenter’s roundtables, poster sessions, and much more.
