For the first time in…ever…the entire UU ecosystem is organizing for climate justice action. We all know how desperate the situation is, but even those of us who have been climate and environmental activists for a long time feel powerless. But, there’s power in numbers and thousands of UUs around the world are getting ready to join hands in September for a denominational Climate Justice Revival. Sponsored by the UUA, UUMFE, UUSC and a whole lot of other UU organizations—as well as our own leaders and thinkers on this subject—this Revival is designed to kick-start our activism and ongoing engagement in climate justice work. Join UU Church of Palo Alto and UU Fellowship of Sunnyvale linking arms together on Saturday, September 28 from 9:30 AM – 12:00.

Together we will:

  • Create a complex representation of the challenging realities and liberatory possibilities for climate justice in our unique context
  • Develop a vision of a flourishing future
  • Identify a clear set of potential actions that we can take to realize this vision
  • Enable participants to understand their roles in the interdependent ecosystem of creating climate justice and collective liberation.

These kinds of things don’t happen often. Our churches all stand alone and apart. Collaboration is difficult, let alone a decision for every UU congregation to join in this Revival at the same time. We’ll all have the same materials, our leaders were trained with other UUs, and when it’s over, we’ll be part of the national conversation moving our climate work forward. It’s exciting just on the face of it, and the day itself is looking like a lot of fun.
