SUMMARY:CLIMATE BILL PACKAGE: Organizing to Pass Major Climate Law in 2021
DESCRIPTION:Join the network organizing A Climate Bill Package and seeking co-sponsors in all 435 House Districts. Goal: Pass Major Climate Legislation in 2021. \nJOIN AAD & POLICY SECTOR TEAMS: Adopt-A-District.  Join Policy Sector Team. \nMeetings WEDNESDAY (every 2 weeks). \nNext General Meeting  Wed. 12/16.  Noon-1:30 ET. \nFocus:  Adopt-A-District & follow up from the Climate Convergence Symposium\, Dec 9 -10 \nAdopt-A-District Today.  Already 66 Adopted in 20 States \nRegister \nA “Climate Bill Package” Creates Unified Front for Climate Movement\, Preparing Now for Nationally Coordinated Effort in 2021 \nFor Climate Week 2020\, a nationwide network has launched a ”Climate Bill Package” campaign\, uniting 12 bills spanning key policy sectors.  Designed to unite the underlying movements\, the bills are collectively supported by over 1200 organizations. \nThe Climate Bill Package tackles regenerative agriculture\, fracking\, fossil fuel subsidies\, plastics\, refrigerants\, confined animal feeding operations\, toxic pesticides\, planting billions of trees\, restoring wetlands\, environmental justice\, and just transition\, with additional bills pending that protect international forests\, and ban new fossil fuel infrastructure\, among others. \nCollectively\, these have a myriad of climate\, environmental and structural benefits\, and serve as a strong starting point for core elements of a more comprehensive legislative agenda in 2021. \n“Strategically\, the package unites movements to increase the political power needed for victory\, said Todd Fernandez\, Director of Climate Crisis Policy\, a digest of climate solutions covering 150 reports and laws.  “If we work together\, climate activists can defeat the triumvirate of Big Oil\, Big Ag & Big Pharma and reclaim our democracy.  But we have to be ready.” \nThe Climate Bill Package network will target all 435 Congressional Districts with an “Adopt-A-District” effort where local organizations form mini-coalitions to secure co-sponsorship of the package.   In 2020\, the network will target 100 Districts\, led by local leaders with Climate Reality\, Project Drawdown\, Unitarian Universalists\, Sierra Club\, 350\, and more. \nAmong the many NGOs leading legislative efforts\, the network collaborates with the Center for Biological Diversity\, Mighty Earth\, Natural Resources Defense Council\, Food & Water Action\, Family Farm Alliance\, Environmental Investigation Agency\, Climate Justice Alliance\, The Center for Earth Ethics\, and The Sabin Center for Climate Change Law at Columbia University. \nExpectations are high that 2021 will present the first opportunity for huge climate action in Congress.  To prepare\, the network aims to grow nationwide coalition capacity and infrastructure so that civil society writ large is ready to seize this moment and save our planet from ecological disaster. \nThe network hosts opening meetings on Wednesday\, every two weeks\, featuring experts on the legislation and action\, with past meetings available on YouTube.  They are also reviewing the U.S. House Climate Action Plan to identify what’s good\, bad\, and missing\, to prepare for action in 2021. \n2020 CLIMATE BILL PACKAGE \n(See: Sponsors\, Summaries\, Text\,

SUMMARY:The Institute for Studies in Eastern Christianity (ISEC) Conference
DESCRIPTION:The Institute for Studies in Eastern Christianity (ISEC) of Union Theological Seminary in the City of New York (formerly the Sophia Institute of Eastern Orthodox and Byzantine Studies) is happy to announce the upcoming fall 2020 conference on the theme of\n\n\n\n\n\nEvil and Spiritual Combat in a Time of Pandemic \nThe global pandemic has destroyed lives and ravaged society.  It has revealed systemic patterns of inequity\, violence and neglect\, and has lent urgency to address the ecological damage that intensifies fires\, floods\, and storms. What happens to Orthodox theology\, liturgy and practice in these circumstances?  How does the church respond to natural and human disaster ?  Where do we turn for guidance and how do we serve the people and majesty of God’s Creation? \nThe Conference will take place on Friday\, December 11th 2020 via Zoom. Please register if you plan to attend. \nWe call on scholars\, religious leaders and social activists to offer academic papers related to the conference theme. Please email us a short abstract (200 words)\, email address and mailing address before November 15. \nA day-long gathering (9.00 am to 6.00 pm—with registration beginning at 9)\, will focus on the various ways the Eastern Orthodox Church\, over past centuries and in recent times\, has theologized on the questions of the meaning\, origins and significance of evil in the modern world and on the role of physical and spiritual combat of evil. This conference will thus address the central topics of ethics\, spirituality and asceticism. \nWe believe that this conference topic will be of great interest to scholars\, religious leaders and social activists because of its enormous significance for the life of the world and the meaning of life that is faithful to authentic sources of Christian ethics and spirituality. \nThe conference conveners plan to produce a scholarly volume of papers presented that will continue the ground-breaking approach characteristic of previous conferences. \nThe Rev. Dr. Conrad Fischer\, Chair of ISEC \n\nCenter for Earth Ethics Director\, Karenna Gore will participate in the \nFIRST SHORT PRESENTATION SECTION: 9:30 – 10:45 \nTHE ASSEMBLY PANEL: SPIRITUALITY AND MYSTICISM IN THE TIME OF PANDEMIC (IN ENGLISH)\nVirtual James Chapel \n  \nJohn A.

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.

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.
