SUMMARY:How Long Till Justice?: Flint\, Jackson\, and Red Hill
DESCRIPTION:In April\, the 10th anniversary of the water crisis in Flint\, Michigan will be marked. Yet\, justice\, in many forms and by many measures\, has remained elusive. For instance\, not a penny of the $626 million settlement has been distributed to residents. Just as the struggle for justice in Flint continues\, so it also continues in other communities that have experienced water crises. In recent headlines\, we learn of how large corporations exploited and deceived towns like Jackson\, Mississippi with false promises of fixing their water infrastructure. Meanwhile\, the EPA continues to find water contamination in homes near the US Navy’s Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility on Oʻahu as health problems persist and residents battle with landlords over rent collection. This webinar will focus on what justice would look like in Flint\, Jackson\, and the communities near Red Hill. We will also focus on what it will take to achieve that justice. Our webinar will feature residents and leaders from each of the three communities. \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:The Need for Justice Leaders Within Congregations: Episode 1
DESCRIPTION:Join us in this 2-part series as we meet with the founders of the Justice Leadership program. We’ll explore why there is a need for justice leaders in congregations and how we are all leaders. We’ll also delve into the themes they cover during their fellowship such as: the pervasiveness of the worldview of Domination and how that has impacted life as we know it; the necessary shift from a congregational self-care primary mission to cultural transformation mission for the good of the world and the Church; and understanding Christianity as centered in Justice and the powerful Biblical Narrative. \nRev. Richard Gamble (he/him) is a founder and the executive director of the Justice Leadership Program. He is also the senior pastor at Keystone United Church of Christ. Rich has been involved in faith-based peace and justice work for over forty years. He has worked as an activist\, a community organizer\, and as the executive director of a community organizing agency. He also has worked as an advocate and as the director of an advocacy program and co-chair of the board of an advocacy agency. \nEliza Penick (she/her) is a program director for the Justice Leadership Program. She has worked in non-profit education\, fundraising\, program development\, and community engagement for fifteen years\, with a particular passion for food sustainability and sovereignty. Her sources of joy are family\, urban homesteads\, mountain biking\, and the exploration of art\, play\, and new places.
