SUMMARY:Interfaith Justice Advocacy Workshop
DESCRIPTION:June 2025 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? Getting started now gives you plenty of time to get ready for elections in 2026.   \n\n\n\nFaith 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.   \n\n\n\nRegister for this event on www.eventbrite.com at: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1344713928559.  \n\n\n\nContact Lisa Brenskelle at gcs.lrc@gmail.com with any questions. \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Cultivating Change: New American Farmers and Their Role in a Greener Houston
DESCRIPTION:Urban Houston faces both environmental and social challenges: food deserts\, high resource costs\, and barriers for refugees-turned-farmers seeking to build sustainable livelihoods. In this talk\, we’ll explore how Plant It Forward leverages government and private support to secure land for New American farmers\, reducing carbon footprints through hyper-local production and empowering communities through equitable land access.  \n\n\n\nYou’ll learn practical steps you can take today: from advocating for land-use policy reforms and donating or leasing land\, to volunteering your time and choosing locally grown produce at farmers’ markets. This program will be recorded and the recording distributed to all registrants. Time for interactive Q&A with the speaker will be provided.  \n\n\n\nPlease register for this talk on www.eventbrite.com at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/cultivating-change-new-american-farmers-their-role-in-a-greener-houston-tickets-1360869109139.  \n\n\n\nContact Lisa Brenskelle at gcs.lrc@gmail.com with any questions.
