To Sign Up:

2) Or just show up on Saturday - we are getting a head count primarily for lunch.

Climate Justice Revival – Part 2: Action Planning Workshop

Join us for Part 2 of our Climate Justice Revival, where we will focus on building our congregational action plan for climate justice.

You do not need to have attended Part 1 in the Fall to participate—everyone is welcome.

For the first time in memory, the entire Unitarian Universalist ecosystem is mobilizing together for climate justice. We are all deeply aware of the urgency of the climate crisis. Even seasoned environmental advocates often feel overwhelmed or powerless. But together, we are powerful.

Thousands of UUs across the globe are uniting in a denominational Climate Justice Revival, aimed at re-energizing our shared commitment and launching coordinated, effective action.

During our congregational workshop, we will:

-Review our insights and goals from Workshop 1
-Learn about the Green Sanctuary program and how we can engage
-Participate in a Future Mapping Mitigation Activity
-Renew our Sacred Circles and recommit to shared purpose

This is a rare moment of collaboration and collective purpose across UU congregations. It's not often that our churches act in concert, and this Revival series is a unique opportunity to be part of something larger than ourselves. The day promises not only to be meaningful, but also energizing and fun.

Let’s join hands in faith, courage, and action.
