SUMMARY:Can Advocacy with Congress Still Accomplish Anything?
DESCRIPTION:Congress is frequently described as gridlocked\, polarized\, and dysfunctional with one notable exception: impeccable service for the donor class. It is enough to prompt mass conversions of even the most ardent optimists to zealous cynicism. In such a world\, is there any hope for advocacy? In this webinar\, we will hear from Sam Daley-Harris who has been training and equipping others to swim upstream against the currents of political despair for over 45 years. Over and over again\, he has coached and encouraged advocates as they have achieved tangible results. In fact\, he is the founder of a highly successful anti-poverty organization called RESULTS. He is also the author of “Reclaiming Our Democracy: Every Citizen’s Guide to Transformational Advocacy.” \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.

SUMMARY:Leaves of Healing (Only for Some)
DESCRIPTION:Creation Justice Ministries has released a new downloadable resource for churches just in time for Earth Month. The new resource is entitled\, “The Canopy of Creation: Trees\, Faith\, and the Work of Justice.” The resource invites to consider the following truth: in many cities\, tree canopy follows the same fault lines as historic redlining. Neighborhoods that were denied investment generations ago are often the same neighborhoods with fewer trees today; neighborhoods experiencing higher temperatures\, poorer air quality\, and greater vulnerability to flooding. This is a creation justice issue because access to the life-giving benefits of trees\, including shade\, clean air\, and cooling\, has been shaped not by chance\, but by systemic inequity. Learn more about this issue and the new resource available to churches in this webinar. \nEven if you cannot make the live event\, still register\, and we will send you a recording. \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.
