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.

News

On September 27th we welcomed Carlos Matutes. Carlos is the Executive Director of Green Latinos and shared a message in worship about environmental justice. Green Latinos is a national non-profit of Latino leaders with state chapters who confront environmental issues that particularly impact the Latino community. Having Carlos with us for Hispanic/Latinx Heritage Month was a wonderful expression of the intersection between environmental and racial justice.
