Webinar: Connecting with State Action Networks on Climate Advocacy - Recording & Resources
This month's Green Sanctuary 2030 Community Meeting, Connecting with State Action Networks on Climate Advocacy, highlighted ways to engage with UU State Action Networks to advocate for policies that reduce emissions at the local, state, and national levels. Special thanks to Deb Cruz from JUUstice Washington and Rev. Lisa Sampson-Garcia from UU Justice Ministry of North Carolina for leading the conversation!
UU State Action Networks do powerful justice work across the country, and they offer timely information on actions affecting your community, including:
Resources and research on justice issues.
A community of like-minded folks you can activate for specific events.
Support and guidance for getting your congregation involved in justice work at the local level.
Justice-oriented worship services to inspire and inform your congregation.
Professional development and networking opportunities.
If you’re interested in getting involved with legislative advocacy and justice work that impacts your local community, find the SAN nearest you or consider starting your own!
