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: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. Kazimir Brown & Dr. Adam Barnes \nPPC Faith Partners Team

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: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.
