Green Justice
Vision
Our Vision is of an abundant world in which we are all faithful and grateful stewards. Our Mission is fourfold:
to foster the interconnectedness of all living things—the land, water, air, plants, animals and people;
to work to dismantle the systems that oppress this living community by causing environmental harm;
to learn from and be led by the communities directly impacted; and
to advocate for a society in which all beings are healthy and empowered to create a sustainable environment for all generations to come.
Strategy
Our Strategies include advocacy, education, worship, and time spent outside. For more details, see our document, Green Justice Strategies here. For more details on our recent team activities, see our document, Green Justice Team Recent Activities here.
News
The historical practice of redlining, a racist policy which prevented people of color from purchasing homes in many neighborhoods all across the US, lives with us still in the form of inadequate tree cover still found in areas where BIPOC communities were allowed to live. We are preparing a session on this topic to be held on Sunday, May 31 after worship. We’ll be drawing from a Zoom webinar from the UCC and from “Canopy of Creation” from Creation Justice Ministries.
