SUMMARY:A Climate Action Plan for Faith Communities & People of Faith
DESCRIPTION:Join Lisa Brenskelle\, Houston Climate Communication Coordinator for the Texas chapter of Interfaith Power & Light\, for a discussion on developing a Climate Action Plan for your faith community and for yourself. The City of Houston has a Climate Action Plan\, but how do you translate that to your faith community\, or to your household?  Clearly\, a city and a faith community or an individual household are very different.  However\, certain fundamental principles apply to all cases. This talk will highlight those principles\, as well tools available and steps to take in developing a climate action plan for both houses of worship & individuals.  Time for interactive Q&A with the speaker will be provided.  Please register for this talk on www.eventbrite.com at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/a-climate-action-plan-for-faith-communities-people-of-faith-tickets-183953689437. Contact Lisa Brenskelle at gcs.lrc@gmail.com with any questions.

SUMMARY:Press Conference with Quannel X
DESCRIPTION:Good morning everyone\, It has come to light that the district clerk of Brazoria County Tx was tampering with jury pools to stack juries against people of color. The Tx Rangers started an investigation but once the investigation started\, she was allowed to retire. Her intentionally malicious actions have to lead to hundreds of not thousands of people of color going through trials with stacked juries and vertically zero chance of a fair trial. Hundreds of not thousands of people of color are now in prison\, with others having their kids taken away and fostered or adopted out to other families. The Tx Ranger investigating is complicit in this corruption\, Rhonda Barchak’s own attorney admitted that judges\, prosecutors\, attorneys etc all knew what she was doing and allowed her to do it. My cousin is a 32 year old black man who was sentenced to life for a murder he did not commit by an all white jury\, majority middle aged. Every bit of evidence cleared his name including dna and forensics present on the victims body and bed\, it was determined to not be his DNA. Geofencing and GPS determined that he was no where near the victims home when the crime occurred\, they even validated his alibi and it still only took that jury 2 hours to find him guilty. The next day\, they gave him life. They have been doing this to people for at least the last decade\, and if we don’t get the Feds to step in and take over the investigation\, it will be swept under the rug. Thomas Norsworthy\, the Tx Ranger’s investigator works down here and has close and personal friendships WITH the people he’s supposedly investigating. We CAN NOT let this go\, we can not let this be swept under the rug. We’re holding our 3rd press conference with Quanell X at the FBI headquarters in Houston Tx\, tomorrow\, Friday Nov 5 2021 at 12pm and we need EVERY ABLE BODIED PERSON to come stand with us\, to show a United front and let the Feds know that if they refuse to step in and do what’s right\, we will know they too\, are complicit. Please join us if you can

SUMMARY:End the Texas Abortion Ban!
DESCRIPTION:The Texas Legislature’s ban on almost all abortions threatens the freedom\, health\, and lives of people seeking to terminate their pregnancies. This horrific new law will especially harm people of color and workers. It is time for us to hold members of the Texas Legislature who approved this law accountable for their actions.\n\nAn energetic demonstration against the Texas abortion ban will be held on Wednesday\, November 3\, at 5 pm\, at the office of state Senator Paul Bettencourt\, 11451 Katy Freeway. Bettencourt was a sponsor of this unconscionable law and showed complete disregard for the freedom\, health\, and lives of people seeking abortions.\n\nThis action is being organized by Houston United Front Against Fascism and Houston Socialist Movement. Please plan to join us on November 3 and help spread the word.

SUMMARY:The Path of Hope: A Study on Climate Action for Faith Communities
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to join a weekly online discussion series on Thursday\, beginning Oct. 28\,  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! Please register on www.eventbrite.com at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-path-of-hope-a-study-on-climate-action-for-faith-communities-tickets-170550481080.

SUMMARY:American Indian Worldview and the Concept of Rights
DESCRIPTION:Join the Rothko Chapel for a dialogue between Tink Tinker and Dina Gilio-Whitaker\, moderated by Suzanne Benally\, exploring the concept of rights for the American Indian people.

The conversation will include these themes and provide an opportunity for the virtual audience to ask questions.  \nThe program is free with a suggested contributions $5-20.  For more info and to register visit www.rothkochapel.org.
