UU FaithAction NJ is a proud sponsor of the UU Climate Justice Revival: “Reimagine Together: From an Extractive Age to a New Era.” The Revival builds on decades of faithful and visionary UU climate and environmental leadership and is designed to equip congregations to collectively reimagine a spirit-filled and liberatory future. More than 350 UU congregations from 40 states will be participating in the Revival next weekend, September 28-29.
Through multigenerational activities, dialogues, worship, and advocacy, the Revival aims to catalyze a shared vision and purpose, build capacity and skills, nourish relationships and connections, and elevate ideas and actions that advance justice in our communities.
Together, we can move past systems and cultures of extraction, to usher in a new era with love and justice at the center of our actions.
