SUMMARY:Church-State Separation Affects Everyone
DESCRIPTION:Christian nationalists are using the law to force everyone to live according to their beliefs and widen inequality in our communities and country. Separation of church and state guarantees religious freedom\, which protects everyone’s right to practice the religion of their choice or no religion at all\, as long as they don’t harm others. \n  \nFollowing a brief annual business meeting\, three Houston leaders with deep\, personal connections to reproductive freedom\, LGBTQ equality and racial justice will explain how religious doctrine is an underlying factor in these issues\, and how—in obvious or subtle form—it often is linked to problematic actions of governments or publicly-funded private organizations.

SUMMARY:Interfaith Protest at NRA Convention in Downtown Houston
DESCRIPTION:The NRA seems to be undeterred by the Uvalde mass shooting\, and is having their convention at the George R Brown Convention Center this week. Trump\, Abbot\, Cruz\, and other prominent opponents of gun control are scheduled to speak there on Friday. Security in and around the convention center will probably be tight while they are there. \n\n\n\nWe are gathering at the Annual NRA Convention in order to protest their ongoing complicity in the gun violence and death in this country \n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\n\nFriday\, May 27\, is the first full day of the annual NRA convention. This year it’s being held in Houston\, just a few hours away from the site of yet another horrific mass shooting\, this time at Robb Elementary school in Uvalde\, TX. Elected Texas officials\, including Gov. Greg Abbott and Sen. Ted Cruz\, are scheduled to speak at their Institute for Legislative Action Forum\, starting at 2pm. We’ll be outside to greet the attendees starting at 1pm\, when doors open. \n\n\n\nWe know there are other protest actions scheduled for Friday\, and you may be planning on attending more than one – we encourage you to use your voices in many ways on Friday! Each protest will have a unique voice\, and together we seek the same change. \n\n\n\nClergy – we invite you to wear clergy attire. \n\n\n\nGeneral schedule:\n\n\n\n1-1:15pm – gather and pray at the main doors of the Convention Center \n\n\n\n1:15-1:30(ish)pm – silent march as a group through (or along the front of) the Convention Center and back to gathering spot \n\n\n\n1:30pm – memorialize the victims with a time of reflection \n\n\n\nGoals:\n\n\n\n1. Call out elected officials for their complicity in the deaths of innocent people. \n\n\n\n2. Lament the lives lost in Uvalde. \n\n\n\n3. Call officials and public to pass legislation for common sense gun laws\, including universal background checks and bringing back the assault weapons ban\, which was proven effective. \n\n\n\nParking and Local Transportation:\n\n\n\nThe George R. Brown Convention Center has great information on parking\, including street parking in downtown Houston: https://www.grbhouston.com/attendees/parking-maps-and-directions/ \n\n\n\nHouston Metro has bus and train service to the Convention Center\, so you can get there by Metro and won’t have to look for a parking space near the Convention Center. Here is their trip planner: https://ridemetro.org/Pages/TripPlanner.aspx \n\n\n\nAccessibility:\n\n\n\nWe plan on gathering in an area accessible to those who have issues with mobility and/or are in a wheelchair. We will also have ASL interpretation available. \n\n\n\nSafety & What to Bring:\n\n\n\n1) It will be hot\, so bring at least 2 water bottles and wear a hat and sunscreen! \n\n\n\n2) This is a peaceful protest\, but it is a volatile issue\, so people may react poorly. Having a buddy is always good protest practice to stay safe. (You can buddy up with someone after you arrive if you don’t bring one with you.) Do not get into a shouting match with pro-gun advocates! We will give more instructions to keep y’all safe on the day. \n\n\n\nBring a sign about your outrage and disgust with the NRA and how they’re basically a lobbying arm for the weapons manufacturers and a funnel for campaign contributions for candidates supporting the gun producers. Do they feel guns are more important that children’s lives? \n\n\n\nMore NRA Protests\n\n\n\nHere’s information on additional protests planned for the NRA convention: \n\n\n\nFri. 10am: protest outside the convention center’s main entrance at 10 a.m\, hosted by LULAC (sorry\, could not find a link) \n\n\n\nFri. 12N at Discovery Green: https://www.facebook.com/events/s/dont-look-away/4644397485661745/ organized by BLM Houston\, Indivisible Houston\, Moms Demand Action\, and the Harris County Democratic Party. Ashton Woods of BLM\, one of the organizers\, was a local HPJC peacemaker award recipient a few years ago. \n\n\n\nFri. 1pm: Interfaith Protest at GR Brown Conv. Center (the event described above): https://www.eventbrite.com/e/interfaith-protest-at-nra-annual-convention-tickets-348421587347 \n\n\n\nFri. 1pm: Protest and action in front of the Conv. Center\, organized by FIEL Houston \n\n\n\nHouston Chronicle Articles with more Information\n\n\n\nHere’s a Houston Chronicle article that has more info on the NRA protests and that may be updated periodically so will probably be a good place to check on several times:   Houstonians plan multiple protests at NRA convention in wake of Uvalde shooting \n\n\n\nHere’s another Chronicle article about NRA donations to Texas politicians

SUMMARY:How Long Will Our Aquifers Last?
DESCRIPTION:Groundwater is\, as famously quoted by the Texas Supreme Court in 1904\, “secret\, occult\, and concealed.” Sometimes referred to as “hidden water\,” it is out of sight and\, therefore\, unfortunately\, out of mind. However\, groundwater comprises 98.7 percent of all the fresh\, unfrozen water on Earth. About 40 percent of all surface-water flows in the United States are sourced from innumerable seeps and springs that discharge groundwater into streams and rivers. Groundwater supports 26 percent of the human use of water with 70 percent of it watering crops. As drier areas become drier and droughts increase everywhere\, groundwater is expected to make up the difference. Unfortunately\, much of the groundwater used across the planet is produced unsustainably. This unsustainable use affects flows to springs\, streams\, rivers\, wetlands\, and estuaries that support ecologies as well as human needs. In some cases\, such as in the Houston area\, groundwater production has caused the land to sink\, increasing flooding. In this presentation\, Professor Mace will present what he has learned about groundwater sustainability through a report he published late last year title “Five Gallons in a Ten-Gallon Hat: Groundwater Sustainability in Texas” and in a forthcoming book titled “Groundwater Sustainability: Its Birth\, Development\, and Application.” Listeners will have a better understanding of what groundwater sustainability is\, how Texas and the greater Houston area is doing with sustainable groundwater management\, and what people can do to achieve groundwater sustainability. Time for interactive discussion with the speaker will be provided.  Please register for this talk on www.eventbrite.com at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/how-long-will-our-aquifers-last-tickets-314757356727.

SUMMARY:"The Myth of Equality"
DESCRIPTION:Houston Muralist Daniel Anguilu uses life itself as his subject matter.  Painting abstract shapes\, animal imagery\, and vibrant color\, his style is inspired by his Mexican heritage and the celebrated Mexican muralists.  His art has become increasingly more visible around the Bayou City as well as in other parts of the United States\, Mexico\, Peru\, and Italy. \nPlease join the Center for the Healing of Racism on Saturday\, May 21\, 2022\, 2:00-4:00pm\, to hear Anguilu discuss how his art reflects societies shaped by colonialism\, religion and the caste system\, all factors that have resulted in racial oppression.\n\n“I’m a muralist\,” Anguilu says\, “I observe\, analyze and question the essential components in life and the human condition. The murals I create are my contribution to stop any type of injustice and to bring awareness to social\, cultural\, and political issues.” A facilitated dialogue will follow Anguilu’s presentation.\n\nThe event will be LIVE and IN-PERSON at 3412 Crawford Street\, Houston 77004. Free parking is available at Houston Community College lot #9 (Crawford & Holman). To reserve your seat\, please register below no later than Thursday May 19 at:  https://www.centerhealingracism.org/event/the-myth-of-equality/\n\n\nPLEASE NOTE: You must bring your printed registration confirmation to the presentation.

SUMMARY:"The Chinese Exclusion Act"
DESCRIPTION:The Center for the Healing of Racism will celebrate Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month on Wednesday\, May 18\, 2022 from 6:30 to 8:30 PM with a screening of “The Chinese Exclusion Act” at 3412 Crawford Street\, Houston\, TX 77004. The film will be followed by a facilitated dialogue. \nOn May 6\,1882 — on the eve of the greatest wave of immigration in U.S. history — President Chester A. Arthur signed into law a unique piece of federal legislation. Called the Chinese Exclusion Act\, it singled out\, as never before\, a specific race and nationality for exclusion\, making it illegal for Chinese workers to come to America\, and for Chinese nationals already here to ever become citizens of the United States. A deeply American story about immigration and national identity\, civil rights and human justice; about how we define who can be an American\, and what being an American means\, the film examines the economic\, cultural\, social\, legal\, racial and political dimensions of the law; the forces and events that gave rise to it; and the effects it had\, and continues to have\, on American culture and identify. \nThe event will be held IN-PERSON.  Free parking is available at Houston Community College lot #9 (Crawford & Holman).This event is free and open to the public with donations encouraged.  To reserve your seat\, please register at: https://www.centerhealingracism.org/event/asian-american-pacific-islander-heritage-month-film-screening-in-person/\n\nPlease Note: This event will not be offered virtually or recorded. Registration is REQUIRED and you must bring your registration confirmation to the event.

SUMMARY:Jewish American Heritage Month
DESCRIPTION:The Center for the Healing of Racism will commemorate Jewish American Heritage Month with a screening of the documentary “The Longest Hatred” on Wednesday\, May 11\, 2022 from 6:30 to 8:30 PM.  This event will be held IN-PERSON at 3412 Crawford Street\, Houston\, TX 77004.  Free parking is available at Houston Community College lot #9 (Crawford & Holman). \n“The Longest Hatred” traces anti-Semitism from its earliest manifestations in antiquity to ominous outbreaks in Germany\, Russia\, and elsewhere in the early 1990s.

SUMMARY:"Reel Bad Arabs: How Hollywood Villifies a People”
DESCRIPTION:In commemoration of Arab American Heritage Month\, the Center for the Healing of Racism will present a screening of the film: “Reel Bad Arabs: How Hollywood Villifies a People” on Thursday\, April 28\, 2022 (6:30 to 8:30pm CDT). A facilitated dialogue will follow the screening. \nThis groundbreaking documentary dissects a slanderous aspect of cinematic history that has run virtually unchallenged from the earliest days of silent film to today’s Hollywood blockbusters. Featuring acclaimed author Dr. Jack Shaheen\, the film explores a long line of degrading images of Arabs – from Bedouin bandits and submissive maidens to sinister sheikhs and gun-wielding “terrorists” – offering devastating insights into the origin of these stereotypes that\, over time\, have contributed to prejudicial attitudes toward Arabs and Arab culture. \nThis event will be held IN PERSON at 3412 Crawford Street\, Houston\, TX 77004. It will not be offered virtually or recorded. Free parking is available at Houston Community College lot #9 (Crawford & Holman). The event is free and open to the public (donations encouraged)\, however\, REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED.  Please register at: https://www.centerhealingracism.org/event/arab-american-heritage-month-screening-of-reel-bad-arabs-how-hollywood-villifies-a-people-in-person/ \nPlease Note: You must bring your registration confirmation for admission to the event.

SUMMARY:Collective Visioning for Our Region’s Water
DESCRIPTION:In a generation\, much of the U.S. will resemble the lower Galveston Bay Watershed\, a 10-county region surrounding Houston which Bayou City Waterkeeper (BCWK) serves. Home to the most diverse population\, and also one of the most ecologically diverse major urban areas\, our waterways — consisting of 2\,500 miles of bayous\, as well as creeks\, coastlines\, and the ocean — support immense biodiversity. Our region has lived through unprecedented storm surges and widespread flooding from hurricanes and heavy rain storms over the last two decades. Amplifying the worst effects of these storms are the region’s long-time underinvestment in forward-thinking flood prevention\, lax attitudes towards land use regulation\, and historic redlining practices which have driven over-development of ecologically sensitive wetland areas and the outer-lying parts of our city. Ayanna Jolivet Mccloud\, Executive Director of BCWK\, will explore the critical role that collective visioning\, ecological imagination and storytelling play in connecting to and advocating for our region’s waterways and our community. Beyond the built environment\, how can we use imagination as a tool to explore new ways to restore prairies and wetlands\, which hold rainfall and prevent flooding? How can we use imagination as a tool for new approaches towards water infrastructure that center ecological impacts and environmental justice. Established in 2001\, Bayou City Waterkeeper is a Houston-based organization working at the confluence of conservation and environmental justice toward cleaner water\, wetlands and healthy ecosystems\, and just\, resilient communities. Time for interactive discussion with the speaker will be provided.  Please register for this talk on www.eventbrite.com at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/collective-visioning-for-our-regions-water-tickets-288968451417.

SUMMARY:The Path of Hope: A Study on Climate Action for Faith Communities
DESCRIPTION:  \nYou are invited to join an online discussion series on Thursdays built around 15-minute videos featuring interviews with US faith leaders\, representatives of climate-impacted communities from the global South\, and presentations by UN officials and other experts. The videos walk viewers through four key climate policy issues that intersect with universal faith concerns for vulnerable and marginalized people. The series focuses on how climate change is impacting the core ministries of faith communities around the world\, how those impacts will increase in the future\, and why these impacts create an imperative for people of faith to advocate for strong US climate action.  A discussion guide is included that asks participants to think deeply about how their own local faith community’s direct service programs intersect with climate impacts\, and how knowledge and experiences gained through these programs might help to inform climate policy. The study’s Action Center provides practical\, step-by-step instructions for advocacy activities\, as well as recommended policy asks for local\, state\, and national leaders.  Join us!

SUMMARY:Forest Bathing & Earth Examen
DESCRIPTION:Experience forest bathing\, led by a certified guide\, followed by practice of the Christian spiritual discipline of the Earth Examen.  Forest bathing\, a practice that originated in Japan\, involves taking in\, in all of one’s senses\, the forest atmosphere. Not simply a walk in the woods\, it is the conscious and contemplative practice of being immersed in the sights\, sounds and smells of the forest.  Forest bathing has been shown to reduce stress\, improve mood and focus\, enhance creativity\, and lead to an increased sense of calm and altruistic behavior\, in addition to other benefits such as boosting the immune system and lowering blood pressure.  As Christians\, we understand that God is present in God’s creation\, and after our guided forest bath\, we’ll spend some time considering the Earth Examen as we reflect both on our time spent forest bathing and on our relationship with all creation.  This activity is for a small group and space is limited.  Please register at www.eventbrite.com at:  https://www.eventbrite.com/e/forest-bathing-earth-examen-tickets-291848535827.

SUMMARY:Eight Crucial Years for Our Civilization
DESCRIPTION:Most people don’t realize quite how pivotal the next eight years are for the future of our climate\, our planet\, and our civilization. Join Phoebe Barnard\, lead author of the global climate action blueprint\, “World Scientists’ Warnings Into Action: Local to Global\,” with 15 top global scientists\, economists and governance specialists\, as she outlines the actions that humanity needs to take to avert our complex planetary crises by 2026\, 2030 and 2050 at six scales\, from the household and community levels to cities\, states\, nations and the UN.  What are the most important things which we can\, and must\, all do as individuals\, as communities\, in cities? These include concrete actions for energy conservation and decarbonization; for reduction of atmospheric pollutants; for nature conservation and restoration; for food systems reform\, dietary change and soil conservation; for smaller families and stabilizing and slowly reducing population; and for reform of our consumerist economy.  A summary of the paper is given in an article in The Conversation\, and the paper is open for cosignature by anyone with a degree in any kind of science at Scientists’ Warning Europe. Time for interactive discussion with the speaker will be provided.  Please register for this talk on www.eventbrite.com at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/eight-crucial-years-for-our-civilization-tickets-261427736397.
