SUMMARY:Living the Change
DESCRIPTION:Scientists tell us that we must reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030 (vs. a 2010 baseline)\, and that 25 – 30% of all needed emissions reductions must come from individuals/households. 50% may seem like a very high hurdle. But\, it translates to only a 10%/year reduction\, starting now. And\, you may have already made some lifestyle improvements since 2010 that reduced your emissions\, so you could already be well on your way toward the 50% reduction goal.   \n\n\n\nParticipants in this individualized course will leave with a personal plan to achieve the 50% emissions reduction goal through targeted lifestyle improvements that will also save them money. The course was developed in response to the Walk on Earth Gently multifaith statement\, inspired by religious teachings to turn away from consumerism & to seek balanced relationships with all people and the planet. Walk on Earth Gently invites you into a journey of Living the Change that the world needs. This program will work individually with participants\, on dates and times that work for both them and the facilitator.  Those already far along on their carbon footprint reduction journey may only need a few sessions with the facilitator to complete their 50% carbon footprint reduction plan\, whereas others may need more sessions.  Accept the Walk on Earth Gently invitation and commit to a sustainable lifestyle.   \n\n\n\nRegister for this course on www.eventbrite.com at: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1975018418255.  \n\n\n\nFor more information\, please contact Lisa Brenskelle at gcs.lrc@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:Changing by Choice
DESCRIPTION:If we know what we need to do\, why do we fail to do it?This study invites us to apply this age-old question of faith to the problem of climate change. The study features videos recorded at the global climate negotiations in November 2025 and introduces the Global Ethical Stocktake\, a discussion framework developed in 2025 to guide a global conversation on the ethics of climate change. With grace and urgency\, this study will open space to ask hard questions and gain insights into the issue of climate change—and our responsibilities to each other. \n\n\n\nChanging by Choice considers climate change as it intersects with other core concerns for faith communities\, including hunger; migration; disaster response; and violent conflict. And\, using the Global Ethical Stocktake framework\, it brings your group into conversation with people in local communities around the world. \n\n\n\nJoin the discussion by registering on eventbrite at: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/197982521350 \n\n\n\nContact Lisa Brenskelle at gcs.lrc@gmail.com with any questions about this class.

SUMMARY:No Kings Protests - Find One Near You & Stand Up for Democracy!
DESCRIPTION:As stated on the No Kings web site: \n\n\n\nIn America\, we have No Kings.\n\n\n\nWe are showing up together again on Saturday\, March 28.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen our families are under attack and costs are pushing people to the brink\, silence is not an option. We will defend ourselves and our communities against this administration’s unjust and cruel acts of violence. America does not belong to strongmen\, greedy billionaires\, or those who rule through fear. It belongs to us\, the people. \n\n\n\nAs President Trump escalates his attempts to control us\, it is on us\, the people\, to show that we will fight to protect one another and our country. If he believes we will roll over and allow him to take our freedoms\, he is mistaken. We are coming together again on March 28 because we know we can overcome this repression when we unite. \n\n\n\nStand up with thousands of your fellow Americans at an event near you on March 28\, and show that we want a democracy\, not an oligarchy. Bring a sign and/or wear a shirt with a slogan\, or just come to enjoy the day with others who also want to deserve our democracy and to show our elected leaders how we want them to lead (or get out of the way). And be prepared to have some fun and enjoy some humor during the event\, too! \n\n\n\nNote: These are all peaceful\, non-violent demonstrations\, protected by the Constitution. You’re not likely to see people there in opposition\, but if you do see a few\, just smile and avoid any confrontations. Police will be there to help keep counter-demonstrators\, if any\, away from the rest of us to avoid any trouble they may want to cause. \n\n\n\nHundreds of protests have been organized all across the US\, including at least 12 in the Houston area\, at different times of the day on March 28. \n\n\n\nFor details about location and times\, and to sign up for a protest near you\, see nokings.org\n\n\n\n There are also optional online trainings listed on that page\, if you are interested in any of them. \n\n\n\nFor more information\, see indivisible.org. Indivisible is one of the co-sponsors of these events. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.nokings.org
