Environmental Advocacy

How can we turn our awe & wonder about God’s creation into action to protect it?  This 4-week series aims to provide insights about how we can most effectively advocate for environmental policies.  Through examples, we will learn about the legislative process and about legal strategies to support the environment.  We will learn how to make our faith voice for “Creation Care” strong, and how to multiply our impact by partnering with other organizations.  Finally, we will have time to brainstorm together about how we can best engage ourselves as a community.

Sessions:

  • Sept. 13 – “How does the Legislative Process Work?” – Veronica Shingleton, Harmonizing Strategies
  • Sept. 20 – “Strategies for Environmental Advocacy” – Lauren Bowen, Southern Environmental Law Center
  • Sept. 27 – “Faith Voice for Creation Care” – Rev. Karen Richardson-Dunn, UCC Southern Conference, Creation Justice Network
  • Oct. 4– “Partnering to multiply our Advocacy impact” – Karen Bearden, 350.org
