Five years have now passed from when Greta Thunberg and soon others went on strike from school to launch a movement that expanded and reverberated around the world. The movement continues as organizers prepare for the March to End Fossil Fuels in New York City on September 17th. This webinar will feature organizers and activists who will reflect back on the movement and where we are today. The Rev. Jim Antal has recently written a new chapter for his popular book “Climate Church, Climate World” that is entitled, “Trump, Biden, Greta—Years of Upheaval, 2018-2022.” Aly Tharp is the Senior Organizer for GreenFaith and is currently organizing faith communities in support of the September 17th march. Gabriela Martinez is an organizer for the Franciscan Action Network and is also mobilizing support for the march. Even if you cannot make the webinar at its scheduled time, still sign-up, and we will send you a link to a recording of it. This monthly installment of Creation Justice Webinars is co-hosted by the Rev. Dr. Brooks Berndt who serves as the Minister of Environmental Justice for the United Church of Christ and the Rev. Michael Malcom who serves as the Executive Director for Alabama Interfaith Power & Light and the People’s Justice Council.
