We wish to thank attendees for contributing, and we hope to see you all at our next event.\n<BR><BR>\nTo learn more about the issues Ian Rowe spoke about, you can check his school board campaign website <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ianvroweforpelhamschoolboard.org\/\">here<\/a>.\n<BR><BR><BR>\n\n<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fairforall.org\/southwest-pennsylvania\/\">Back to FAIR Southwest Pennsylvania<\/a><\/strong>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the evening of Thursday, September 9th, FAIR Southwest Pennsylvania had its first ever online event.&nbsp; While the event was the first of what will be many events, it started off strong.&nbsp; A diverse crowd from Pittsburgh and beyond joined the Zoom event with FAIR Southwest Pennsylvania chapter leaders, FAIR chapter network leaders, and special<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3737,"featured_media":5914,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"give_campaign_id":0,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5911","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fairforall.org\/southwest-pennsylvania\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5911","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fairforall.org\/southwest-pennsylvania\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fairforall.org\/southwest-pennsylvania\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fairforall.org\/southwest-pennsylvania\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3737"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fairforall.org\/southwest-pennsylvania\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5911"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.fairforall.org\/southwest-pennsylvania\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5911\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fairforall.org\/southwest-pennsylvania\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5914"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fairforall.org\/southwest-pennsylvania\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5911"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fairforall.org\/southwest-pennsylvania\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5911"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fairforall.org\/southwest-pennsylvania\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5911"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
