🚨Time for our next #Upwell2023 panel🚨 Talking Ocean Policy: What Makes It Just? with @quise7 of @UrbanOceanLab, @CPichonBattle of @TaprootEarth, Helen Smith of @CreationJustice, & Carlos Ochoa of @ncelenviro

As a result of exploring ways to take forward CEFAW’s work in the US, we’re delighted that a collaboration between @BeCreatureKind, @NRPEorg, and @CreationJustice led to an @alliancebaptist statement on Christian Ethics and Animal Agriculture, linked here: allianceofbaptists.org/statements/

💒🌿 The roots of the environmental justice movement start with the church. Inspired by faith, leaders like Rev. Ben Chavis and Rep. McEachin have fought against environmental injustices. It's time to protect people and the planet! @crcjustice #EJ4AllAct dojustice.crcna.org/article/faithf…

Last week, over fifty faith leaders from Wisconsin and Illinois gathered at Holy Wisdom Monastery for our Pastoring for Healing and Justice in a Climate Crisis retreat! Check out photos from our gathering, co-presented with @faithinplace @acc_climate & @GarrettSeminary!

#OceanJustice communities are pursuing equitable & just ocean policy that recognizes both the history of inequity & their role in the future of ocean conservation. @quise7, @UrbanOceanLab @CPichonBattle, @TaprootEarth Helen Smith, @CreationJustice Carlos Ochoa, @ncelenviro

Many marine “sanctuaries” are not sanctuaries at all. It's time to put the "sacred" back in our national marine sanctuaries! #SacredSanctuaries Thanks to @BenjiSJones & @voxdotcom for this important piece! www-vox-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.vox.co…

Join us tonight!

@POTUS is considering a #DirtyDeal right now that would silence our voices & rubber stamp dangerous fossil fuel projects. @POTUS, @ShalandaYoung46, & @SRicchetti46 – don’t make compromises that sacrifice our communities and God’s creation. #PeopleOverPolluters #Care4Creation

We need to make the transition to clean energy as quickly as possible for God’s creation, but @POTUS is reportedly considering a #DirtyDeal that would lock in more fossil fuels. Keep fossil fuel handouts out of the debt ceiling deal! @POTUS, @ShalandaYoung46, & @SRicchetti46

Big Oil-backed politicians want to silence our voices, lock us into fossil fuels, & take away critical climate funding & investments for God’s creation. @POTUS, @ShalandaYoung46, & @SRicchetti46 please stand strong & reject a #DirtyDeal & #DefaultOnAmerica Act.

A compromise that sacrifices God’s people and planet, and rubber stamps fossil fuel projects is no compromise at all. @POTUS @ShalandaYoung46, & @SRicchetti46 - focus on solutions that put #PeopleOverPolluters.

Our policy advocate, Helen Smith and her ocean workgroup co-lead standing on the steps of the capital during the first fly-in for the America the Beautiful 4 All Coalition. A great week of meetings, panels and connecting in person!

We had a great time together at our first in-person board meeting in years! Thank you to Sophia Seminary and Farms for hosting us in Petersburg, VA!

Happy #EarthDay for all God's creation! Join us in prayer today:

Message today is from Derrick Weston, our inaugural Theological Education and Training Coordinator
