Hello John!

We're feeling optimistic here at Creative Commons as the final quarter of 2022 begins.✨
 
Last month, the CC team was busy facilitating and engaging in important discussions about why Better Sharing matters now, more than ever, and what that looks like in practice in different contexts, from unlocking open climate and biodiversity research for all to the future of the internet and the decentralized web ​​— keep reading for our September highlights and the exciting opportunities coming up over the next few months. 
 
To conclude our 20th anniversary celebrations, 🎊 Creative Commons will be hosting a series of events (in-person and virtual), as well as offering opportunities to bring together long-time community members, supporters and newcomers around the historic founding of the global digital commons. Here are the different ways you can get involved 👈.
 

Scroll down for the latest "Open Minds" podcast episode, RSVP details for our 20th Anniversary Celebration in San Francisco on 17 November 2022, and more.
 

Sincerely, 

The CC Team
