SUMMARY:Making Houston a Resilient City – How Houses of Worship Can Help
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, May 6\, 4 p.m.\, online & Congregation Emanu El\n\n \n  The Interfaith Environmental Network of Houston invites you to consider the challenges and opportunities that lie before Houston\, a key city in the global response to changing weather patterns\, emerging economies and changing consumer preferences and needs.\n\n \n  The future of Houston as a serious competitor in the global marketplace lies in many of the choices that will be made in the next few years. Are we ready to take our place as a truly world-class city\, showing the way for the world\, or will we be left behind? Houses of worship will have a key role to play in resilience.  Resilience requires knowledge and the will to find a different way\, and spiritual conviction and strength are absolutely necessary to achieve this.\n\n \n  In this presentation\, Jim Blackburn will discuss the scope of current problems\, some ideas to bring resilience to our community in the future\, and the role of houses of worship could play in realizing this future.  But\, this future can only be achieved by personal commitment and action\, and to reach it\, we all are going to have to come together and act for the common good\, a great challenge for the faith community.\n\n \n  Jim is a Professor in the Practice in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at Rice University\, co-director of Rice University’s Severe Storm (SSPEED) Center and a Faculty Scholar at Rice’s Baker Institute. He is both an environmental lawyer and planner and has written two books about the Texas coast. After Jim’s talk\, there will be time for Q&A.\n\n \n  Please register for this event;\n\n \n https://www.eventbrite.com/e/making-houston-a-resilient-city-how-houses-of-worship-can-help-tickets-44393458028\n\n \n  Congregation Emanu el is located at 1500 Sunset Blvd. For more information\, please contact Lisa Brenskelle at gcs.lrc@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:Socialist Reading Group: Happy Birthday\, Karl Marx!
DESCRIPTION:Karl Marx has achieved a lasting global impact\, one that is greater and wider than any other philosopher before or afterwards. The Smithsonian Magazine published an article titled “Karl Marx Is the World’s Most Influential Scholar”. The article is based on a study and paper in Nature. Several information scientists from Indiana University Bloomington came to that conclusion based on how often Marx’s work was cited plus the number of works. \nAfter the global financial crisis of capitalism in 2008\, Marx was often cited to help explain the crisis. Marx is relevant because his work is based on science and an advanced method of critical analysis in philosophy and economics. \nWe need Marx now more than ever to help explain the nature of capitalism and the internal dynamics of its own destruction. Join us for a discussion on Marx’s legacy and contributions.

SUMMARY:Break Free From Plastics US Grassroots Tour: Houston
DESCRIPTION:EARTHWORKS\, one of #breakfreefromplastic member orgs in the US\, has organized a speaking tour with communities and stakeholders in the frontline affected by plastics pollution in key places i.e. Texas\, Louisiana\, Pennsylvania\, and Washington D.C. The tour seeks to dig deeper into the various processes where plastic pollution should be mitigated starting with extraction to production. \nTogether with Tejas Barrios and Texas Campaign for the Environment\, we are hosting a discussion panel on “closing the loop\, linking plastic production to fossil fuel extraction and the shale gas boom in the US. Plastics don’t just pollute the ocean\, they pollute from cradle to grave starting with the communities impacted by oil & gas extraction from which plastics are made. \nOur Grassroots Speaking Tour will feature two Global South activists\, Lakshmi Narayanan and Myrna Dominguez who will represent the voices of communities who are impacted by plastic pollution (fisherfolk communities from the Philippines and waste pickers from India). \nFor more information or questions please feel free to contact Priscilla Villa at pvilla@earthworks.org.
