Advancing Economic and Climate Justice as a Moral Issue, Building a Movement for a “Green New Deal”

Now that it is past, click here for a summary of the conference.

The Green New Deal has spurred debate on the need for bold actions that make big differences. Carbon pricing is being debated—and 156 million Americans have pledged to keep the Paris Climate Agreement Commitments. Communities of color wonder why they often pay the costs first, and deepest, but rarely get to voice their concerns or benefit from rebuilds and resilience planning.

Learn how to influence elected officials, organization actions and how to take needed urgent action.

• How can we as UUs be in solidarity and fellowship on these issues? Learn how climate change is an economic justice issue with intersectional dimensions of race, ethnicity and class running throughout. 
• How do UU values inform our justice work? Learn how to use values to frame advocacy to make the best moral case for change.
• How can we advocate most effectively with our elected representatives? Learn how to advocate and then go to your Senator’s offices for needed conversations.  Then take this knowledge home and work locally on issues of national and global import.
