SUMMARY:Service of Appreciation for Federal Environmental Justice Staff and Grantees
DESCRIPTION:For communities around the country\, environmental justice staff at the EPA and other federal agencies along with grantee organizations embody many of the most cherished and important values held in our society. They protect our health and our environment. They serve as public servants deeply concerned about the wellbeing of others\, especially the most vulnerable. \nAs one of the bodies that helped launch the Environmental Justice movement in the United States\, the United Church of Christ (UCC) is committed to honoring these public servants in a time of uncertainty about the future of federal environmental justice programs. \nIn this service\, we will honor those working on environmental justice with gratitude. We will gather together in strength\, comfort\, and solidarity as we renew our collective resilience as an ongoing movement. \nSelected environmental justice staff will provide messages\, along with environmental justice pioneers including: \n\nCharles Lee\, retired Senior Policy Advisor for Environmental Justice at EPA\nRichard Moore\, former Co-Chair of the White House Environmental Justice Advisory Council\nDollie Burwell\, leader of Warren County\, North Carolina protests\nRev. Benjamin Chavis\, Jr.\, former director of United Church of Christ Commission for Racial Justice\n\nThe service will be led by the Rev. Terry Yasuko Ogawa\, Area Conference Minister\, SNEUCC and former UCC Dr. Charles E. Cobb Environmental Justice Resident. \nIf you are unable to make the service at the scheduled time\, a link to the recording will be sent to all those who register. \n(This service will take the place of the monthly Creation Justice Webinar hosted by the Rev. Dr. Brooks Berndt\, Minister of Environmental Justice for the United Church of Christ\, and the Rev. Michael Malcom\, Executive Director for the People’s Justice Council and Alabama Interfaith Power & Light.)
