SUMMARY:Who Pays the Price: Migrant Labor\, Economic Justice and Our Faith
DESCRIPTION:We are all experiencing a rise in our food prices\, but the people who harvest our food are often left out of the conversation. This webinar connects the cost-of-living crisis to migrant labor while exploring the roles of faith in this justice advocacy. Join us for an eye-opening conversation with faith and community leaders. Our conversation partners will share actionable ways for viewers to participate in Fill the JAR and Love Knows No Borders campaigns.

SUMMARY:Economic Justice: Love Our Laborers as Yourself
DESCRIPTION:We all feel a call to “do what you love.” Parents\, teachers\, pastors and culture all reinforce the message. Most importantly\, the call comes from the Spirit within. To work and play freely\, without shame or exploitation\, is to feel integrated and alive internally – and within community and society. Tragically\, our dominant\, oppressive economic system deprives almost everyone of realizing this freedom to thrive. Too many are simply trying to survive under harrowing circumstances. That is ungodly. Is it possible to pivot from anti-Christ economy to loving our laborers? We can and must fight for living wages\, guaranteed housing\, and dignity imbued into every endeavor\, in Jesus’ name. \nJoin the conversation with Nurture the Soul and learn how you and your church can concretely manifest sustained justice now and growing forward. \nRev. Seth Wispelwey is the Minister for Economic Justice with the National Ministries of the United Church of Christ. He has an extensive background in grassroots organizing with people of faith and conscience on a variety of justice issues. In his current role\, Seth is focused on coming alongside congregations with training materials\, discipleship curriculums\, and meaningful solidarity actions for manifesting thriving and liberation for all. He loves spending free time gardening\, cooking\, enjoying great horror films\, and dreaming about whales. Seth lives and works from Charlottesville\, Virginia with his family.

SUMMARY:Nurture the Soul: Labor in the Pulpit
DESCRIPTION:God Gave Us One Day of Rest\, Unions Gave Us Two\nLabor Day is not just a time to celebrate working people and their contributions to our society; it is also a time to remember the struggle workers endured to achieve the many benefits we now enjoy. Labor Day provides a unique opportunity for faith communities and organized labor to rediscover their common bonds: social justice\, democracy\, equality\, the dignity of all people\, economic and racial justice\, fair treatment in the workplace and the right to form unions. Join a conversation with Rev. Seth Wispelwey\, UCC Minister for Economic Justice as we reflect on how this Labor Day can be a launchpad for churches to address current conditions of working people and reaffirm commitments to worker justice every day in these trying times until all are thriving.
