SUMMARY:Reclaiming Our Democracy
DESCRIPTION:After the election\, commentators like Tom Nichols urged people to “stay engaged and make their voices heard at every turn.” But most still wonder how\, and even if\, they can make a difference between elections. What are the options? (1) Protesting? Vital\, but usually not the long game. (2) Signing email form letters\, which only 3% of Congressional staff says is highly effective? Just gestures. (3) Taking a 2-year nap until the next election? Sadly\, the preferred route for many. Few know about (4) transformational advocacy which helps you change an issue while you also become changed in the process. \nIn his book “Reclaiming Our Democracy: Every Citizen’s Guide to Transformational Advocacy\,” Sam Daley-Harris writes about people who have successfully brought about social change and personal transformation. Join us for this webinar as Daley-Harris shares his stories and wisdom gained from years of leading and coaching advocacy organizations such as Citizen’s Climate Lobby\, Friends Committee on National Legislation\, Catholic Relief Services\, and RESULTS. \nEven 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. \nThis 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.
