SUMMARY:BANNER RALLY TO FREE JULIAN ASSANGE!
DESCRIPTION:This Monday\, July the 3rd\, is not only our day of national celebration of independence from the British Empire.  Monday is also the 52nd birthday of JULIAN ASSANGE\, imprisoned for over four years in London\, for defending the freedoms of speech and freedom of press which our Founders enunciated in our Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights.   The US government seeks to prosecute Assange for his legitimate journalistic activity that exposed war crimes\, corruption\, and abuses of power. The prosecution of Assange under the Espionage Act is inherently illegitimate.  His “crime” was to publish classified documents exposing the war crimes of the western military establishment — the same charge the U.S. government leveled fifty years ago against Daniel Ellsberg\, who just passed on June 16. \n\n\n\nThis Monday\,  Assange Defense has called for ‘banner drop’ rallies ALL AROUND THE WORLD for Julian’s freedom.  Here in Houston\, we’ll meet at 4:30 PM Monday at the Montrose bridge over highway I-59.  We’ll hoist a 10′ banner and signs\, rallying support from motorists heading home for the Independence Day holiday.  You are welcome to bring your own signs and flags.  Freedom for Julian Assange is freedom for all of us!  (Find convenient parking on Autrey Street\, one short block south of the I-59 Freeway).  \n\n\n\nJulian Assange\, political prisoner

SUMMARY:Plastic Free EcoChallenge
DESCRIPTION:Plastic pollution now contaminates the deepest trenches in the ocean\, the highest mountain peaks\, and even the air we breathe. Microplastics have been found in human blood\, lungs\, breast milk and placentas.  Plastic has entered the food chain\, killing wildlife\, and causing the average person to eat tens of thousands of microplastic particles every year. To learn more about this issue & take action to affect change\, join one of the two teams listed below for the Plastic Free EcoChallenge (or create your own team\, or join as an individual)!  You select the challenges you’d like to accomplish during the month and when/how you do them.  For more information\, see this link: https://plasticfree.ecochallenge.org/.

SUMMARY:Interconnections with the Environment: Ecosystem Services & Us
DESCRIPTION:Join Professor Kerri Crawford of the University of Houston to consider more deeply the interconnections between humans and our environment\, through the lens of ecosystem services. As biodiversity is lost through anthropogenic changes\, it is becoming increasingly clear how much we rely on the natural world. Nature provides us with many services\, including water purification\, climate regulation\, and pollination. However\, what happens to these services when we start losing biodiversity? Can we restore ecosystem services once they are damaged? This presentation will highlight how we benefit from nature\, new research on how humans are influencing ecosystem services\, and paths forward to restore nature and the benefits it provides.  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/interconnections-with-the-environment-ecosystem-services-us-tickets-627645523657.

SUMMARY:Join Us for a Repair Cafe! Recycle/Reuse/Repair Your Stuff!
DESCRIPTION:A Repair Cafe celebrates fixing through a fun\, collaborative\, hands-on\, fix-n-learn\, community event. People bring us their broken items for assessment\, disassembly and repair.

If you have nothing to repair\, you can enjoy a cup of tea or coffee. Or you can lend a hand with someone else’s repair job. You can also get inspired at the reading table\, by leafing through books on repairs and DIY. \nAcceptable Items to Bring – One item per person pleaseSmall Appliances and electronics \nCan you volunteer to help with repair or the event?\nCalling all handywomen\, handymen\, handy kids\, handy teens and families\, tinkerers\, and sewers!

SUMMARY:Interfaith Justice Advocacy Workshop
DESCRIPTION:June 2023 is the perfect time to refresh your advocacy knowledge and set goals for engaging your faith community around issues that impact the planet and its peoples. Why is it such a perfect time? The Texas legislative session just ended\, and in September all eyes will turn toward the 2024 elections. Faith communities typically don’t want to be seen as “political\,” but\, as we’ll cover in this workshop\, faith communities can—and should—provide important education and leadership roles in nonpartisan civic engagement. Join Bee Moorhead\, executive director of Texas Impact\, an interfaith justice advocacy organization\, and her colleagues\, to talk about what that looks like “in real life\,” and do a deep dive into Texas Impact’s specific Houston-area resources and projects.  Register for this event on www.eventbrite.com at: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/interfaith-justice-advocacy-workshop-tickets-627649485507.

SUMMARY:The Path of Hope: A Study on Climate Action for Faith Communities
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to join an online discussion series 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:Federal Incentives for Energy Efficiency and Renewables: Why They Matter to People of Faith
DESCRIPTION:We now have a wide window of opportunity to make real\, lasting changes for clean energy and reducing carbon pollution. The Inflation Reduction Act and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law are investing billions of dollars to build clean energy sources\, electrify school buses\, cap orphaned wells\, and much\, much more.  In addition\, there are many incentives for households\, and houses of worship\, to invest in energy efficiency improvements and renewable energy.  People of faith therefore play a vital role in determining how federal funds are spent and the quality of the investments made. Lisa Brenskelle\, Houston Climate Communication Coordinator for Texas Interfaith Power & Light and Rebecca McIlwain\, Community Outreach Coordinator with Texas Climate Jobs Project\, will give an overview of the available federal grants/incentives and talk about what you can do to ensure the money is invested in a way that makes the most impact and promotes justice. Time for interactive Q&A with the speakers will be provided.  Please register for this event on www.eventbrite.com at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/federal-incentives-for-energy-efficiency-and-renewables-tickets-608800277017.  Texas Climate Jobs Project (TCJP) is a nonprofit organization that supports clean energy that is inclusive to everyone concerned and creates decent work opportunities that leave no one behind. Texas Interfaith Power & Light is the Texas chapter of Interfaith Power & Light\, a national nonprofit whose mission is to inspire and mobilize people of faith and conscience to take bold and just action on climate change.  Contact Lisa Brenskelle at gcs.lrc@gmail.com with any questions.

SUMMARY:Race\, Racial Identity and Racism in Early Childhood

SUMMARY:Without the Development of All Nations\, there Can Be No Lasting Peace for the Planet
DESCRIPTION:A little more after the war in Ukraine\, which in reality had started in 2014\, escalated with the Russian military operation\, it has become very clear that the real issue is not Ukraine.  It is a proxy war between the U.S. Great Britain and NATO\, on the one side\, and Russia on the other — with a conflict with China also looming.  The real issue is that the nations of the Global South are trying to shed the colonial order\, this time for good\, and they have now become the Global Majority.  Driving the war danger is the systemic breakdown of the trans-Atlantic financial system\, with its over $2 quadrillion in unpayable financial assets.  The world urgently needs a new security and development architecture.  This two-day event will bring together leaders from some two dozen nations to discuss how to bring that about.
