SUMMARY:Justice First Tour
DESCRIPTION:On August 15th\, the Justice First Tour will come to Birmingham! \nJoin New Alpha Community Development Corporation\, Kingdom Living Temple\, Dogwood Alliance\, Sierra Club\, #Readyfor100\, and local co-hosts for an evening of local speakers\, solution-centered dialogue\, and celebration through art and music. \nSouthern communities are on the frontlines of the climate crisis in the US\, bearing the greatest impacts of an economic system of exploitation that continues to concentrate power and wealth into the hands of a few\, while many people suffer. Across the South\, many of us have risen to address this challenge. Unfortunately\, our very best intentions have often left our movement segmented when it comes to speaking with one unified voice. Now\, more than ever\, we need to come together and unite in one voice for climate justice and stand together to advance long-term solutions that put justice first and lift frontline communities up. \nThe Justice 1st Tour calls for a strong network of grassroots and frontline organizations working together to advance climate justice and forest protection\, with a focus on 100% clean energy for 100% of the people — no more false solutions. To solve the climate crisis\, we need to put Justice 1st. \n***

SUMMARY:CLIMATE CHANGE\, WATER & JUSTICE: OUR CHANGING PLANET AND A MORAL CALL TO ACTION
DESCRIPTION:From Lake Chad to Flint\, MI\, the struggle for clean water has become one of the most pressing justice issues. Hear from an incredible panel about how faith communities can join the fight against ecological exploitation.  \nClick here to RSVP.  \nAl Gore\nFormer Vice President Al Gore is co-founder and chairman of Generation Investment Management. He is a senior partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers\, and a member of Apple\, Inc.’s board of directors. Gore spends the majority of his time as chairman of The Climate Reality Project\, a non-profit organization he founded that is focused on solutions for the global climate crisis. Gore was elected to the US House of Representatives four times from 1976—1982 and to the US Senate in 1984 and 1990. He was inaugurated as the 45th vice president of the United States on January 20\, 1993\, and served eight years. He is the author of several bestsellers including Earth in the Balance\, An Inconvenient Truth\, and most recently\, The Future: Six Drivers of Global Change. He is the subject of an Oscar-winning documentary and was selected as the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate for informing the world of the dangers posed by climate change. Former Vice President Gore was born on March 31\, 1948\, and resides in Nashville\, Tennessee. \nCatherine Coleman Flowers is the founder of the Alabama Center for Rural Enterprise (ACRE). ACRE seeks to address the root causes of rural poverty. She also serves as the Rural Development Manager for the Equal Justice Initiative and the Director of Environmental Justice & Civic Engagement (EJCE) at the Center for Earth Ethics at Union Theological Seminary. In addition\, she serves as Duke University’s Franklin Humanities Institute Practitioner in Residence. Her goal is to expose the Third World conditions were rural people live amongst raw sewage. She has characterized this as “America’s Dirty Secret.” \nShe hopes to shepherd a paradigm shift toward sustainability and resiliency in rural communities as well as the development of climate-friendly onsite wastewater technology using renewable energy. The lack of environmental and climate justice in poor rural communities was noted during her 2011 testimony about the raw sewage problem in Lowndes County\, Alabama. It was included in the Report of the Special Rapporteur on the human right to safe drinking water and sanitation to the United Nations Council on Human Rights. In December of 2015 she represented the Center for Earth Ethics in Paris as an official observer at COP 21\, and in 2016 she was chosen to attend the White House Water Summit. In 2017 she invited to Alabama\, the UN’s Special Rapporteur on Extreme Poverty. He characterized what he saw as “uncommon in the first world. “ Flowers has a Master’s degree in History and recently co-authored a peer reviewed study with scientists from Baylor’s National School of Tropical Medicine that exposed evidence of hookworm and other tropical parasites in the United States. \n  \nSpecial Contributor: \nHindou Oumarou Ibrahim is an indigenous woman from Mbororo pastoralist community of Chad; She is a Coordinator of the Peul Indigenous Women and Peoples Association of Chad (AFPAT) “Association des Femmes Peules et peuples Autochtones du Tchad. Hindou is also co-chair of the International Indigenous Peoples Forum on Climate Change (IIPFCC) and a member of the Executive committee of the Indigenous Peoples of Africa Coordinating Committee (IPACC)\, with a background in indigenous peoples’ rights and environment protection through the three Rio Conventions (Biodiversity\, Climate Change and Desertification) with multiple responsibilities.

SUMMARY:LEGACIES OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT: LOOKING BACK AND MOVING FORWARD
DESCRIPTION:CEE’s Director of Environmental Justice & Civic Engagement\, Catherine Coleman Flowers to participate in World Water Day panel at the Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan.  March 22\, 2018 – 5:00pm – 8:00pm \n\n \n\nIn a collaboration with the Temple Hoyne Buell Center for the Study of American Architecture at Columbia University and Louise Seamster at the University of Tennessee\, Knoxville\, this Detroit panel discussion will consider some of the recent history of Emergency Management in Michigan.\n\nSince the 1980s\, Michigan has been the national epicenter of “emergency management”—a project that allows state governors to declare “financial emergencies” in cities and thereby replace democratically elected officials with appointed emergency financial managers. In the three decades that emergency management has unfolded in Michigan\, its cities have seen the privatization of public institutions\, disinvestment in public infrastructures\, and other acts of violence against the public sphere. Extending long histories of the extraction of labor\, land\, and wealth from communities of color in the United States\, emergency management has been focused on black majority cities; in the last 10 years\, around 52% of Michigan’s African-American residents have been disenfranchised by emergency management as compared to 3% of white Michiganders.\n\nOn December 14\, 2017\, Governor Rick Snyder announced that there were\, at the moment\, no emergency managers governing any of Michigan’s cities. That announcement prompts questions about the ongoing consequences and legacies of emergency management—a project that has become dormant rather than invalidated. What has the impact of emergency management been on Michigan’s cities? What lessons should be learned from these experiences? How can these lessons inform resistance in other spaces of threatened or ongoing dedemocratization?\n\nReception: 5:00pm\n\nPanel Discussion: 6:00pm\nMark Fancher\, Racial Justice Project\, ACLU of Michigan\nCatherine Coleman Flowers: Alabama Center for Rural Enterprise\nShea Howell\, The James and Grace Lee Boggs Center\nHelen Moore\, Keep the Vote\nLouise Seamster\, The University of Tennessee Knoxville\nModerated by: Andrew Herscher\, The University of Michigan\n\nOn Friday\, March 23rd\, a related workshop will be convened in Ann Arbor. This conversation will take up some of the issues presented on Thursday\, considering Emergency Management as not only a local but also a national project\, which engages with systems of infrastructure\, government\, and culture at multiple scales.\n\nThe events are co-sponsored by theTaubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan and the Temple Hoyne Buell Center for the Study of American Architecture at Columbia University. Image Courtesy of the Overpass Light Brigade.

SUMMARY:They Will Inherit the Earth:  Peace and Nonviolence in a Time of Climate Change with Author John Dear
DESCRIPTION:WE REGRET TO ANNOUNCE THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED AS UNION THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY IS CLOSED DUE TO WEATHER!  We hope you will be inspired to read John’s work and enrich your own practice of nonviolence in the world.\n\n\nJOHN DEAR BOOK TOUR [NEW YORK CITY]\n\n\nORGANIZER: Larry Rasmussen \n\n\nVENUE: Union Theological Seminary\n\n\nADDRESS: 3041 Broadway @121st St\n\n\n \n\n\nThey Will Inherit the Earth: Peace and Nonviolence in a Time of Climate Change\, releasing February 2018.\n\n\n \n\n\nIn this landmark work\, author\, activist\, and Nobel peace prize nominee Father John Dear connects the way of active nonviolence with solidarity with Creation\, and shows how our global epidemic of violence and war could only lead to catastrophic climate change. He cites Jesus’ third Beatitude as the basis for his meditation: “Blessed are the meek\, they will inherit the earth.” Thomas Merton said “meekness” was the biblical word for “nonviolence” (in the Gandhi/King sense)\, so Dear reflects how Jesus connected nonviolence with oneness with creation\, how he practiced nonviolence and lived at one with creation\, and how we need to do the same.\n\n\n \n\n\nIn this time of terrifying climate chaos\, John Dear shares his own personal journey from the Upper West Side of Manhattan to the high desert of New Mexico where he now lives off the grid on a remote mesa. He shares his experience serving as a pastor in the mission church at Yosemite; encounters with New Mexican indigenous women who live at one with the earth while resisting nuclear weapons production at Los Alamos; his experience at Standing Rock in North Dakota\, resisting the pipeline; reflections on the work of environmental leader Bill McKibben and Pope Francis’ monumental encyclical on the environment\, Laudato Si; and ends with suggested steps forward into conscious\, mindful solidarity with all creatures and Mother Earth through active\, steadfast nonviolence\, what he calls\, “eschatological nonviolence\,” walking the earth in the footsteps of the nonviolent Jesus into the Kingdom of God.\n\n\n \n\n\nContacts: Tory Field – tf2406@utsnyc.edu // Larry Rasmussen\, lras1939@gmail.com\n\n\n \n\n\nhttp://www.paceebene.org/event/john-dear-book-tour-new-york-city/

SUMMARY:Eagle and Condor Consciousness: An Evening with Three Thinkers in the Native Way
DESCRIPTION:This event is free and open to the public. \nFor thousands of years Indigenous people throughout the world have lived in ways that maintained a balance between human life and the life of all other beings. Over time\, the dominant mode of human consciousness became an anthropocentric or human centered consciousness that disrupted the delicate balance and left behind the other mode of consciousness that was equally humanity’s endowment. \nPlease join us and experience a dialogue among three people whose lives are deeply rooted in traditional Native nonverbal thinking but who are able to beautifully translate into anthropocentric language the experience of the Native holistic consciousness. The dialogue will explore such subjects as ceremony; the “I” as “the we” way of thinking; the awareness of balance and blessing; and the consciousness of all beings including those beings that anthropocentric thinkers have defined as lacking consciousness. Their perspectives reach deep into the heart of an emerging consciousness that is both ancient and new. \nPanel:  \nTiokasin Ghosthorse\, (Cheyenne River Lakota). Founder\, host\, and executive producer of “First Voices Radio”\, a weekly program syndicated to 70 radio stations in the US and Canada. \nMindahi Bastida Muñoz (Otomi) Director of the “Original Caretakers Program.” Center for Earth Ethics at Union Theological Seminary. \nGeraldine Patrick Encina (Mapuche descent)\, Scholar in Residence at the Center for Earth Ethics. \nWith Reflections by:  Aliou Cissé Niang\, New Testament faculty at Union Theological Seminary and native of Senegal West\, Africa \n\n\n\nRSVP to info@centerforearthethics.org \nShare on Facebook \n  \n

SUMMARY:The Logic of Sanctuary: Religious Movements in Non-Sovereign Spaces
DESCRIPTION:In the past few years\, from Standing Rock to Rojava\, we have seen the emergence of transnational and interfaith forms of religious activism. At the same time\, we have seen the revival of the medieval concept of “sanctuary”: by offering sanctuary\, cities and universities are in essence identifying themselves as sacred spaces\, outside the reach of the state. \nThe obsession with religious mobilization in recognizably political spaces (“the evangelical voter”) has obscured this kind of activity. \nHow should we conceptualize these alternative forms of religious mobilization?  \nThis conference uses the theme of “sanctuary” as a jumping-off point to think about the resources religion offers to communities seeking to gather around\, and govern\, non-national spaces: the human body\, the city\, and the environment. The hope is that this will help us to better understand the forces at work in a twenty-first century world of weak states and global challenges. \nThe conference will begin with a public roundtable\, featuring both scholars and practitioners\, in Goodson Chapel on Thursday\, 8 February at 5 PM. It will then continue with a day-long conference in the Ahmadieh Lecture Hall\, Smith Warehouse\, Duke University. \nThe conference will bring together practitioners with experts in anthropology\, geography\, history\, and religious studies\, all of whom will think through the concept of sanctuary as it relates to their own work. \nCEE’s Catherine Flowers will participate in a panel on Environmentalism: Religion and the Land addressing Water and Faith in Lowndes County.  This panel asks how religious engagements with the land have emerged historically\, and how they might help us to imagine more ecologically sustainable futures. \nAll are welcome to attend. More information can be found at their website.

SUMMARY:Week of the Peacemaker 2017: Self+Other+Earth=A Formula for our Future
DESCRIPTION:Advocacy and Social Justice at IONA College\nWeek of the Peacemaker 2017: Self+Other+Earth=A Formula for our Future  Karenna Gore\, Keynote\nFor over thirty years\, IONA College has chosen time around Veterans Day to dedicate academic and co-curricular attention to peacemaking. This year’s Week of the Peacemaker kicks off Saturday\, November 4\, and concludes Friday\, November 10 with its theme: Self+Other+Earth = A Formula for Our Future. \nCEE Director\, Karenna Gore\, will give the Peacemaker Keynote\, November 9\, 2017\, 12 Noon – 1 pm in Ryan Library Romita Auditorium.  The thematic sense of creating an Earth Ethic can be found in a quote from Gore: “We must place value on the most sacred aspects of our lives – community\, culture\, clean air\, nourishing food\, and drinkable\, fishable and swimmable waters-if we are going to protect them for future generations. Climate change is about more than science and economics\, it is about morality\, ethics and the very meaning of life.” \n\n2017 Week of the Peacemaker begins with “Hope and Healing in the Anthropocene” on Saturday\, November 4. The all-day event takes place from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. in Thomas J. Burke Lounge\, Spellman Hall. Sponsored by the Thomas Berry Forum at Iona College\, in alliance with the Collaborative for Palliative Care at Fordham University\, the event features a day of contemplative inquiry with a host of healers\, teachers and spiritual practitioners who look to guide those in attendance into informative and transformative dialogue on the challenges of being well and offering wellness – of body\, mind\, and spirit – to an ecologically\, socially and spiritually suffering planet. \n\nOther important discussions in the Week of the Peacemaker 2017 includes The Puerto Rican Story: Colonized Other or Decolonized Self After Maria with Dr. Teresa Delgado. \n See the Schedule of Events

SUMMARY:Día de Muertos\, Day of the Dead
DESCRIPTION:We made a ceremony on October 31st dedicated to all who have crossed to the other side. Our thoughts for October 31st especially went to children and youth.\nDuring the night we made a vigil and continued our observances until late November 1st. An additional element to those typically placed on the table was the trail of white flower petals that shows the way for the souls who come to visit. Special thanks go to David Ezra\, Yolanda\, Claudia\, Brett\, Katilau\, and everyone else who held the space and brought light and warmth to a time of reflection about life and death\, especially those that come about in conditions of injustice\, including climate injustice and socioecological injustice.

SUMMARY:Karenna Gore and Roberto Borrero on the Rights of Nature
DESCRIPTION:As the hard effects of climate change are upon us\, felt overwhelmingly by the poor and marginalized in places like Puerto Rico\, it’s time to rethink the rules of the game. Two environmental thinkers\, Karenna Gore and Roberto Borrero\, discuss earth ethics\, the rights of nature\, how to mitigate damages and find ways forward for environmental protections during an era of deregulation. This conversation will focus on indigenous knowledge on climate and science and will explore both speakers’ current strategies. The talk will be followed by a Q&A with the audience. \nA co-convener of the Indigenous Peoples Major Group on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals programs on behalf of the International Indian Treaty Council\, Roberto Múkaro Borrero offers particular expertise in Caribbean and other Indigenous Peoples’ issues. His unique perspective draws from multiple sources including his indigenous Taíno heritage\, ongoing mentorship from indigenous leaders and elders from around the world\, and real-time experience in the arts\, as well as a long and distinguished history of human rights and environmental advocacy. With over twenty years’ experience in the non-profit/non-governmental sector\, over a decade of experience as Senior Programs Coordinator for Public Programs in the Education Department of the American Museum of Natural History in New York\, and as a former radio host and producer for WBAI Pacifica Radio’s “Circle of Red Nations\,” Roberto maintains a diverse resource network locally\, nationally\, and internationally in the civil\, business\, and governmental sectors. \nKarenna Gore is the director of the Center for Earth Ethics at Union Theological Seminary. Her past experience includes work in the legal center of Sanctuary for Families\, which serves victims of domestic violence and trafficking and as Director of Community Affairs for the Association to Benefit Children (ABC)\, which provides early childhood education and other services for families living in poverty in New York City. She worked on the editorial staff of Slate magazine and is the author of Lighting the Way: Nine Women Who Changed Modern America (2006). Karenna is a graduate of Harvard College\, Columbia Law School and Union Theological Seminary. She is the eldest child of Al and Tipper Gore and lives in New York City with her three children. \nThis event will be held after regular business hours at Leonard Library. Only those attending the event will be allowed inside the branch. All other regular functions of the library will be unavailable. \nBrooklyn Public Library’s Green Series is made possible through the generous support of Whole Foods Market.

SUMMARY:Creating a Climate for Change Conference
DESCRIPTION:The “Creating a Climate for Change” Conference is a gathering of people involved in all aspects of environmental and climate change work. This year’s focus is on how to organize on local\, state\, and regional levels. We will be looking at programs\, processes\, and practices that have resulted in expanded participation of community-based organizations and community members. We will also be looking at strategies and tactics that need to be employed in light of the regressive actions that have been taken on a federal level and with the U.S. withdrawal from the Paris Agreement. This year’s annual event will be guaranteed to leave you energized\, encouraged\, and equipped to continue our progress and to make new inroads as we address the impacts of climate change\, environmental and economic injustice. We look forward to seeing each and every one of you at this year’s “Creating a Climate for Change” Conference because none of our progress\, past\, present\, and future\, is possible without you.
