The Environmental Justice Practitioners Network (EJPN) Webinar Series is a program co-hosted by Rev. Karen Brammer (UUA) and Aly Tharp (Unitarian Universalist Ministry for Earth) to support and deepen Unitarian Universalist ministries and solidarity for environmental justice.

Earlier this week, the EJPN was blessed to welcome Sharon Lavigne, the founder of RISE St. James. Many participants commented that this was the most meaningful and impactful webinar that they had attended to date:

There are just two more webinars left in the 2018-2019 season:

A Conversation with Members of Lummi Nation & Bellingham Unitarian Fellowship

April 25th – 4:30-6 pm Pacific / 7:30-9 pm Eastern

Perhaps you remember attending one of the Lummi Nation totem pole journeys, or the Public Witness with members of the Lummi Nation at the 2015 General Assembly in Portland, Oregon? Unitarian Universalist relationship and solidarity with the Lummi Nation has rippled across the nation over the years — and many of these ripples can be traced back to dedicated relationship building and solidarity from members of the Bellingham Unitarian Fellowship.

This webinar will build upon stories shared in the UUA Common Read, Justice on Earth: People of Faith Working at the Intersections of Race, Class, & Environment.
