Ministry for Earth and UU Justice organization are offering a Zoom Discussion about the intersection of environmental, racial and social justice
Saturday, August 7th
10:00 am – 11:30 am

Our Faith calls us to protect the planet. We work on this in our UU congregations regularly with Green Sanctuary initiatives, gardens, and other conscious choices. Many of us are simultaneously working on anti-racism and dismantling white supremacy. What if we could combine those two efforts into one called Environmental Justice?  How much easier would it be if you had connections with organizations around your local area and the state who are already doing this work?  Let’s connect the dots between protecting our planet, honoring the worth and dignity of all human beings and actively tearing down power structures that keep white supremacy in place. 

Saturday, August 7th at 10am, three expert panelists will share their thoughts on Environmental Justice, how that relates to Racial Justice and what we can do about it here in Ohio. The panelist discussion will be followed by an opportunity for connection between Unitarian Universalists, other like-minded faith communities and Environmental Justice advocates. 

Gather in community and expand your connections so we can all work together for a healthier, more inclusive Ohio.  Register at http://bit.ly/environmentaljusticeppp.
