11:49:28 From Christopher N to Everyone:
	No mention of the environmental impact of population growth in the Advocacy presentation. Is advocacy entirely focused on reproductive rights? Separate question: any lobbying related to state or federal legislation?
11:49:50 From Stephanie Wolfe to Everyone:
	so many wonderful updates from PopConnect and the Action Fund. THANK YOU!
11:50:41 From stan b to Everyone:
	My understanding is that the global gag rule is administrative--Repub presidents put it on the 1st day in office and Dem presidents take it off the 1st day.  So could you please advise on what legislation can do to keep it off?
11:53:27 From Richard R to Everyone:
	When I was in high school in the 70s, our class read The Population Bomb by Paul Ehrlich.  If you could recommend one book for high school students, what would it be?

	Learn more about our Global Partners: https://populationconnection.org/learn/international-partnerships/
12:00:47 From Pam Wasserman to Richard R And all panelists:
	Hi, Richard. There aren't many books on the topic that are accessible for high school students (or written for popular consumption like Ehrlch's books.) We usually provide links to articles and to multimedia materials for high school classrooms.
12:01:26 From Christopher N to Everyone:

12:02:16 From Marian Starkey (she/her) to Everyone:
	Richard, this is a book that a couple of us on staff have read recently and found helpful and informative. It’s probably not right for a high school audience, but maybe  a college one: https://www.amazon.com/Decline-Prosper-Changing-Advantages-Children/dp/3030916103
