SUMMARY:Reckon South hosts 'Be Better at Activism' with Catherine Coleman Flowers
DESCRIPTION:Join Reckon South as they talk with 2020 MacArthur Genius Grant recipient Catherine Coleman Flowers about how activism starts in your own backyard. Reckon Women reporter Abbey Crain will talk with Flowers and take your questions.\n\n\nRegister Here!\n\n\nFlowers received the Genius Grant for her work in founding the Center for Rural Enterprise and Environmental Justice (CREEJ)\, bringing national attention to disease-breeding wastewater issues in rural Alabama.\n\n\nAnd\, Flowers is a proud country girl from Alabama’s Black Belt.\nShe grew up with Black Power movement giants such as Stokely Carmichael\, who founded the Lowndes County Freedom Organization\, as well as her own parents\, both local activists. This independent political group mobilized Black people to vote and run for office at a time when white mobs threatened them for registering to vote. The LCFO and its logo\, which featured a crouching big cat\, inspired the creation of the Black Panther Party in California.\n\n\nBring your questions and curiosity about what it takes to advocate for our own causes and how to make change in our communities.\n\n\nShare on Facebook via Reckon South \n\n\nAbout Be Better:\nThis Reckon Women Monthly Speaker Series\, hosted by Abbey Crain\, is a resource that allows women access to accomplished thinkers\, doers\, and builders in their communities. Each month\, a speaker that has wisdom to share about a particular topic or life path meets virtually with the Reckon Women Group in an intimate setting that allows for one-on-one questions and deep conversation. This is more than a speaker series\, it’s more like a casual conversation with women who are rock stars in their various fields to help foster connection and create community.

SUMMARY:Ecological Thinking for Civilizational Change: Beyond the Anthropocene and into a New Future
DESCRIPTION:Society needs to change at a level far deeper than most people realize. Solar panels\, electric cars\, and carbon taxes get nowhere close to addressing the underlying causes of our complex social-environmental challenges. The interconnection of our world’s biggest problems requires a paradigm shift—a transformation of our social and economic organization that is guided by a change in values and worldviews. Taking a stand against extractivist and exploitative modes of being is important\, but equally important is the articulation of an alternative way of thinking and living. That’s the purpose of this international conference. Change the story\, change the system\, change the world. Join us\, as leaders from around the world come together (online and in Seoul)\, to begin constructing an alternative vision for a more peaceful\, sustainable\, and equitable world—what we are calling an ecological civilization. Sessions will focus specifically on shifting paradigms\, reconceiving the good life\, and redirecting economies for wellbeing. \nCo-Organizers:  \nThis conference is being co-organized by the Institute for Ecological Civilization and the Korea Green Foundation.

SUMMARY:Prophets and Power: Compelling Congress to Act
DESCRIPTION:The need for action does not stop with Election Day. Whether our nation rises to the occasion in the face of the climate crisis and environmental injustice depends significantly on how much organized pressure is brought to bear on members of congress. In congressional districts across the country\, faith-rooted advocates have enormous potential to be the moral and spiritual force needed in this moment. In this webinar\, we will hear from panelists on how faith advocates can successfully advocate for climate legislation in Congress. \nThe featured panelists will be: \n-Todd Fernandez\, Executive Director of Climate Crisis Policy \n-Shantha Ready Alonso\, Executive Director of Creation Justice Ministries \n-Rabbi Daniel Swartz\, Executive Director of the Coalition on the Environment and Jewish Life \nThis webinar is co-hosted by the Rev. Dr. Brooks Berndt of the United Church of Christ Environmental Justice Ministry and the Rev. Michael Malcom of Alabama Interfaith Power & Light and the People’s Justice Council.

SUMMARY:Finance in Common Summit
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Earth Ethics will participate in the Finance in Common Summit\, November 11-12\, 2020 hosted by the Paris Peace Forum. \n  \nBuilding Resilience for People and Planet   \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Finance in Common Summit will stress the crucial role of Public Development Banks (PDBs) in reconciling short-term countercyclical responses with sustainable recovery measures that will have a long-term impact on the planet and societies. \nBy reconciling the entire finance community in support of common action for climate and the UN Sustainable Development Goals\, the Finance in Common Summit will be a key milestone on the way to the crucial events of 2021\, notably the COP26\, the COP15 and the Generation Equality Forum. \n\n  \nWhy Finance in Common? \n\n\nIn the context of the Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent global socio-economic crisis\, the Finance in Common Summit will stress the crucial role of Public Development Banks (PDBs) in reconciling short-term countercyclical responses to the crisis with sustainable recovery measures that will have a long-term impact on the planet and societies. The Finance in Common Summit is an opportunity to: \n\ngather for the first time the world’s 450 PDBs and discuss their role\, their ambition\, their challenges and opportunities;\nbring together the financial community at large to design a financial system whereby Public Development banks would have the ability to reorient and leverage all financial flows in the direction of climate and the SDGs; and\ncontribute to supporting and reinventing multilateralism by promoting new forms of cooperation.\n\nThe Finance in Common Summit will gather the whole Public Development Bank community along with other key stakeholders\, such as Heads of State\, governments\, supervisors\, and representatives from the private sector\, civil society\, think tanks and academia. By rallying and challenging a new and significant global community with enhanced capacity of action\, and by promoting sustained collective action\, the Finance in Common Summit seeks to contribute substantially to the success of the UNSG’s “Decade of Action”. \n\nLearn More at www.financeincommon.org.

SUMMARY:Ecology And Ecumenicity: Facing Division And Imagining Reconciliation In The Care Of Our Common Home
DESCRIPTION:An online colloquium with ecologically-attentive theologians\, ethicists\, and community leaders from an array of Christian traditions. Organized with the Graymoor Ecumenical & Interreligious Institute \nFree and open to the public. Register now. \nThe ecological crisis is\, no less\, an ecumenical crisis and an ecumenical opportunity. There can be no degradation nor restoration of the environment\, on any scale from local to global\, that does not also present a challenge of communication with and commitment to one another. The “home” (oikos) we share—however divided and acrimonious it may be—is and must be a home to all. Yet our ecological vision and efforts are often themselves divisive or inattentive to divisions that shape our capacities for response. \nThis roundtable will take up the urgent contemporary questions rising from the entanglement between social division (religious\, political\, ethnic\, economic\, and so forth) and ecological degradation. For instance: \n\nHow are we best to understand the causes and ethical entailments of our present ecological challenges through the resources offered by our (different and often disagreeing) traditions?\nWhat roles are played by ecological precarity in the divisions (cultural\, ethical\, political\, theological) between and within Christian communities?\nHow should religious communities (and conversations between communities) contribute to society’s responses to these challenges—whether at the level of a public vision of ecological integrity\, or at the level of concrete challenges like food security\, environmental justice\, and the plight of climate refugees?\nWhat ecumenical resources exist for engagement between religious communities with apparently incompatible assessments of the present ecological situation?\n\nThis special program has been generously co-sponsored and co-organized by the Graymoor Ecumenical & Interreligious Institute\, Center for Earth Ethics at Union Theological Seminary; the Church World Service; the Orthodox Christian Studies Center at Fordham University; and the Zohrab Information Center. \n\nPanelists\nThe Rev. Dr. John Chryssavgis:\nFr. Chryssavgis\, Archdeacon of the Ecumenical Patriarchate\, was born in Australia\, studied theology in Athens\, and completed his doctorate in Oxford. He taught theology in Sydney and Boston\, and currently serves as theological advisor to Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew\, “the green patriarch.” His latest book is Creation as Sacrament: Reflections on Ecology and Spirituality (Bloomsbury\, 2019). He lives in Maine.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Very Rev. Dr. Kelly Brown Douglas:\nwas named Dean of the Episcopal Divinity School at Union Theological Seminary and Professor of Theology at Union in September 2017. She was named the Bill and Judith Moyers Chair in Theology in November 2019. She also serves as the Canon Theologian at the Washington National Cathedral and Theologian in Residence at Trinity Church Wall Street. Ordained as an Episcopal priest in 1983\, Dean Douglas holds a master’s degree in theology and a Ph.D. in systematic theology from Union. Dean Douglas is the author of many articles and five books\, including Sexuality and the Black Church: A Womanist Perspective and Stand Your Ground: Black Bodies and the Justice of God. Her academic work has focused on womanist theology\, sexuality and the black church.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Dawn Nothwehr\, OSF:\nis a leading Catholic environmental ethicist\, who in 2012 was acknowledged among the top twenty-five eco-theologians in The U.S. Heartland by The National Council of Churches of Christ Ecojustice Programs. Since 2015 she has served on the Encyclical Working Group of the Office of Human Dignity of the Archdiocese of Chicago\, whose mission is the education and implementation of Laudato Si’. A Rochester\, Minnesota Franciscan\, Sr. Dawn joined the faculty of Catholic Theological Union (Chicago) in 1999. The mandate of the John Family Chair is to promote the Roman Catholic Consistent Ethic of Life\, advanced by Cardinal Bernardin; thus\, her research and teaching addresses a variety of issues. Her primary focus is environmental ethics through the lens of Franciscan theology\, especially the effects of global climate change on poor people. Equal concerns include the religion/science dialogue\, the ethics of power and racial justice\, and fundamental moral theology.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Christopher Sheklian:\nwas appointed Director of the Krikor and Clara Zohrab Information Center in September 2018. An anthropologist by training\, completing his PhD at the University of Chicago\, Dr. Sheklian specializes in the Anthropology of religion and secularism\, studying the role of liturgy and law on the lives of religious minorities. He teaches Classical Armenian at St. Nersess Armenian Seminary\, and he is an ordained deacon in the Armenian Apostolic Church in America.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRev. Dr. David Vásquez-Levy:\nserves as President of Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley\, California –a progressive\, multidenominational seminary and center for social justice that prepares theologically and spiritually rooted leaders to work for the well-being of all. A committed Lutheran pastor\, a nationally recognized immigration leader\, and a sought-after speaker\, Vásquez-Levy leads at the intersection of faith\, higher education\, and social change.

SUMMARY:Environmental Justice for All Act - Online Tour
DESCRIPTION:Environmental Justice for All Act — Improving Lives of Marginalized Communities \nFacebook Live Online Tour – Next Stop: Tuesday\, Sept. 15 from Los Angeles 1:00 – 2:30 pm ET \nSponsored by Rep. Raul Grijlav (D-AZ) House Natural Resources Committee Chair Rep. Raul Grijalva is leading forums on Facebook Live to promote the “Environmental Justice for All Act\,” which he and Rep. A. Donald McEachin (D-VA.) and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) introduced. See fact sheet. \nGrijalva and Rep. McEachin will discuss the impacts that decades of neglect have had on Cancer Alley and how the Environmental Justice for All Act would give community members long-sought legal powers to protect themselves from polluter abuses. The bill was written after a collaborative process with impacted communities lasting more than a year\, and has been praised as a new model for preparing legislation. \nAmong other measures\, the bill would: \n\nAmend the Civil Rights Act to allow private citizens and organizations that experience discrimination (based on race or national origin) to seek legal remedies when a program\, policy\, or practice causes a disparate impact;\nProvide $75 million annually for research and program development grants to reduce health disparities and improve public health in disadvantaged communities;\nLevy new fees on oil\, gas\, and coal companies to create a Federal Energy Transition Economic Development Assistance Fund\, which would support workers and communities transitioning away from greenhouse gas-dependent jobs; and\nRequire federal agencies to consider health effects that might accumulate over time when making permitting decisions under the federal Clean Air and Clean Water acts.\n\nEvent details and links will be made available on Rep. Grijalva’s website HERE. \n

SUMMARY:Voting is Power Unleashed: Moral Monday Mass Assembly
DESCRIPTION:On September 14 at 7 PM ET\, the Poor People’s Campaign will hold a mass digital assembly and teach-in: “Voting is Power Unleashed: Moral Monday Mass Assembly”. This online program will bring together thousands of poor and low-income people\, community and faith organizations\, and more as we plan to educate and empower ourselves on voter engagement\, registration\, and protection ahead of this consequential election season. \n  \nThe program will be anchored by two prominent legal organizations\, the NAACP Legal Defense Fund and Forward Justice\, which will lead a massive and unique teach-in on voter participation and protection. We will also hear from poor and low-income folks who have experienced voter suppression as well as notable leaders\, artists\, activists\, and the co-chairs of the Poor People’s Campaign. \nUse this link to join as a co-sponsor. Once you sign-up\, you can use this digital toolkit to spread the word far and wide. \nAs we show in a new report\, poor and low-income people are a key section of the electorate\, but their issues are rarely part of the political narrative. There are over a dozen states where just a small increase in turnout by poor and low-income voters in the 2016 presidential election and in 2018 midterms could have met or exceeded the margin of victory. Poor and low-income people are no longer waiting to be included in the national political narrative. \nThat is why September 14 is not a one-off event\, but a launching pad for a national organizing campaign between now and November: We Must Do M.O.R.E. (Mobilizing\, Organizing\, Registering\, and Educating). As a part of the M.O.R.E Campaign\, we are encouraging at least 1000 faith and community organizations to sign-on to the Prophetic Pledge to turn-out 1000 people to the polls. And thousands more are signing-up as MORE Organizers to do outreach in their communities. We’d be thrilled to count you and your people in the numbers. \nForward Together! \nRev.

SUMMARY:Values & Worldviews: Ecological Civilization as Mutual Flourishing
DESCRIPTION:Webinar Series: Earth Charter and Ecological Civilization\nA new kind of collaboration\, toward a new kind of civilization\, is needed if we are to shift humanity away from the current civilization that is indifferent to the needs of the most vulnerable and that predominantly has lifestyles and production patterns that destroys the life support systems that sustain life on Earth. \nTwo decades ago\, after years of international collaboration and with input from visionaries around the world\, a document known as the Earth Charter was drafted as a vision of hope and a call to action. The 16 principles of the Earth Charter provide a framework for the long-term well-being of people and the planet. \nIn 2012\, China adopted Ecological Civilization in its National Constitution and mandated its incorporation into “all aspects of economic\, political\, cultural\, and social progress.” This call for civilizational change raises awareness of the need for an alternative paradigm. But\, what is “ecological civilization” and how can it be achieved? \nNow\, as we enter the third decade of the new millennium\, there is urgency in generating an intercultural and intersectoral dialogue about the meaning\, principles\, metrics\, vision\, and values that ought to drive humanity towards ecological civilization. \nToward this end\, a group of global partners are coming together to organize a series of webinars to exchange views\, deepen discourse\, and hopeful stimulate further collaboration. This series of four webinars\, to take place between September and December\, is being organized as a collaborative effort between the Earth Charter International\, University for Peace\, Pace Center for Green Sci-Teck and Development\, the Institute of Ecological Civilization\, China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF)\, and the Center for Process Studies. \nThe following questions will be addressed: \n\nWhat is an “Ecological Civilization?”\nWhat values and worldviews are needed to ground a paradigm shift towards that direction?\nCan the Earth Charter principles provide a framework for building an ecological civilization?\nHow to cultivate the consciousness needed\, and how to turn this new consciousness into action?\nWhat are the driving forces of the current civilization and what could be the drivers of “Ecological Civilization”?\nWhat is the role of education\, policies\, and international collaboration to turn Ecological Civilization a reality?\n\nDates\, Speakers and Time\nSeptember 10\nValues & Worldviews: Ecological Civilization as Mutual Flourishing\nSpeakers: Mary Evelyn Tucker\, Meijun Fan\, and Karenna Gore\nModerator: Andrew Schwartz\nTime: 7:00pm Costa Rica\, 9:00pm ET\, 9:00am Beijing of 11 September\nClick here to register \n\nLearn More\, See More Dates and Speakers…

SUMMARY:Mother Earth’s Pandemic: The Doctrine of Discovery
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nDates: Thursday August 6\, 13\, and 20\, 2020\nTimes: 6-9 PM EST each Thursday\, followed by caucuses/small group discussions.\nLocation: Online\nSponsors: Indigenous Values Initiative and American Indian Law Alliance\nView Flyer\nView bios\nRegister\n\nThe “Doctrine of Discovery\,” better described as the “Doctrine of Christian Discovery and World Domination\,” established the worldview that not only brought devastation to the natural world\, but also impaired the ability for human beings to live in proper relationship with the Earth. 15th century Papal Bulls\, issued by the Vatican\, justified the assault upon Indigenous Peoples as an artificial justification to take possession of their bodies\, lands and resources in order to finance their New World Order. This worldview advanced the Age of Discovery as an extension of the Crusades\, and was the conceptual framework behind the Protestant Reformation\, the establishment of Nation States around the world\, and later secularized to define colonialism\, white supremacy and global capitalism. \nEssentially\, what defines Indigenous Peoples is their relationship with a living landscape that includes the soil\, water\, air\, and all other non-human being co-inhabitants.  This orientation to land is distinctly opposed to the European concept of owning land and the process of colonization.  Indigenous scholars have discussed these two opposing orientations as being one of habitation and the other\, of occupation. Although the violent seizure of Indigenous lands was initiated with “discovery\,” corporations today\, continue exploiting Indigenous Peoples and their land all over the world. The Doctrine of Discovery is the root of the problem\, and the reason that it is discussed at the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues. \nThis current pandemic and the escalating climate chaos clarify to everyone that there are consequences to the devastation humans have perpetrated upon the environment.  As Oren Lyons has pointed out\, Natural Law will reestablish balance\, and these climate changes will not destroy the Earth\, but will most likely destroy the human beings who abuse her. The earth will rebound in its own time. If we are to survive as a species\, we must reorient to an Indigenous worldview acknowledging that we are first and foremost\, co-inhabitants with this Earth—not in charge of it. These Indigenous values\, along with the acceptance of traditional ecological knowledge\, will transform future technological innovations possibly resulting in a viable future for our species.  Religious concepts of imperial thinking urgently need to be re-imagined; messages from Indigenous Peoples need to be heeded; and environmental justice needs to be restored.  Racist ideologies of conquest and domination are directly connected with domination of the Earth and other non-human beings. \nThis conference will connect the dots between our current pandemic\, environmental devastation\, the Doctrine of Discovery\, and a way forward. Too often these are thought of as unrelated concepts\, rather than being the core impediment in working towards social justice in an ecologically balanced Earth.  Our speakers have been working in these areas for many decades.  Participants will hear the wisdom from the traditions of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois)\, as well as other Indigenous Peoples. Through virtual discussion groups\, you will be able to interact on how best to implement these values of respect\, thanksgiving\, and peace into your lives. \nPlease join us in August 2020 for conversations about the Doctrine of Discovery\, so we can begin the process of decolonization back to understanding our proper relationship to the natural world and peace. \n  \nSchedule\nThursday 6 August\, 6-9 PM (EST)\n\n6:00-6:10 Opening\, Tadodaho Sid Hill\n6:15-7:00 Orienting the conference panel:\n\nPhil Arnold\, Sandy Bigtree\, Betty Lyons\, Jake Edwards\n\n\n\n7:00-8 PM Keynote: “The Haudenosaunee\, United Nations and the Doctrine of Discovery” by Oren Lyons\n\n8:00-9:00PM: Thematic Discussion groups/Caucuses\n\nThursday 13 August\, 6-9 PM (EST)\n\n6:00-7:00 PM Legal dimensions of the Doctrine of Discovery\n\nJoe Heath\, Dana Lloyd\, Steve Newcomb\, Makayla Loeb\n\n\n7:00-8:00 PM Mother Earth’s Pandemic in other contexts\n\nEglute Trinkauskaite\, Rob Ruehl\, Sarah Nahar\, Angela Mooney D’Arcy\, Abel Gomez\n\n\n 8:00-9:00PM: Thematic Discussion groups/Caucuses\n\nThursday 20 August\, 6-9 PM (EST)\n\n6:00-7:00 International work and the Doctrine of Discovery\n\nBetty Lyons\, Evie Reyes-Aguirre\, Tupac Enrique Acosta\, Tina Ngata\n\n\n7:00-8:00 Considerations for an Indigenous Future (panel-summation)\n\nJake Edwards\, Beverly Jacobs\, Tink Tinker\n\n\n8:00-9:00 PM Thematic Discussion groups/Caucuses\n\n  \nThematic Discussion Groups (caucuses)\nAfter each panel there will be facilitated thematic discussion groups (caucus) for intentional thematic dialogue and conversations around the panels and possible next steps. Each caucus will have a facilitator and be capped at 25 members as a way of allowing for intentional conversations. Caucuses will be assigned on a first come first serve basis. We will try and accommodate your choices as best we are able but no guarantees. The Indigenous Peoples solidarity caucus is reserved as a space for Indigenous Nations and Peoples to talk. The regional action caucus groups we will be crafted to the best of our ability based on a critical mass of folks from a particular location. \n
