Save the Date: Sat., Sept. 28 - Sun., Sept. 29: UU Climate Justice Revival Workshop Weekend

UU Climate Justice Revival Workshop

GNUUC is joining UUs across the land to revive our commitment to climate justice on Saturday, September 28, 2004 (10:00 am to 2:00 pm). Then, on Sunday, September 29, we will have a special Worship Service to celebrate our participation, plus an Advocacy hour calll to action!

All of us will learn new frameworks at the intersection of climate and justice and have the chance to weave together the threads that have always linked our deepest commitments. The UU Climate Revival will equip UU congregations to enter into a new era of climate action—one that intentionally and faithfully breaks down silos and cultivates relationships that lead to flourishing collaborations that transform our congregations through climate justice.

See more details at the UU Climate Justice Revival website and FAQs.
