The UU Climate Justice Coalition consists of UU organizations coordinating and collaborating to enact climate justice. Grounded in a faithful call as a community of practice, we share resources, build skills, and organize actions that advance a future with climate justice, collective liberation, and a world where all life flourishes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, there are 11 participating organizations. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Coalition is open to inquiries from additional UUA \u201cRelated Organizations\u201d who do significant work on climate justice or represent communities most impacted by climate injustice. Email office@uumfe.org.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m honored to be the co-convener of the Coalition, along with Rachel Myslivy, Climate Justice Strategist at UUA Side with Love. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

UU Ministry for Earth was awarded a grant by the UU Fund for UU Social Responsibility<\/a> to support our project management, monthly meeting facilitation and spiritual grounding for the work. The funding also supports technology and three outside contracted professional development workshops for coalition members. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are using The Blueprint for a Multiracial, Cross-class Climate Movement Workbook<\/a> to guide our planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To deepen our conflict management skills, we have engaged with Kai Cheng Thom<\/a> for three workshops. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing a common project this year is one of our commitments, and we have chosen the Climate Justice Revival<\/a>, knowing that we can\u2019t create what we can\u2019t imagine. We hope your congregation joins us to reimagine a future of flourishing and collective liberation by registering soon<\/a>!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the 2024 General Assembly, the Coalition led a Cohort on June 21 and 22 called UU Climate Justice. All resources shared, including slides and recordings, are in this document<\/a>.<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

UU World wrote an article about the Climate Justice Coalition. You can find it here and learn more about how UU organizations working together, instead of in silos, will produce exponential results<\/a>. Collaboration is the way forward! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
