- Protest opportunities February 23

- The cost of compound interest.
The global financial system operates like a cancer, metastasizing throughout our economy and society. Its malignant core is a simple yet devastating formula: PL – PR + I, principal loaned – principal repaid + interest = an escalating debt trap that necessitates economic growth. This equation is familiar to anyone who has taken out a loan.

- Climate Resiliency
As the climate crisis leads to more extreme weather events, faith communities can play a vital role as places of refuge and resiliency.

- Organizing for Health Equity
An Invitation to create justice via “Organizing for Health Equity”, an Action of Immediate Witness that UUJEC endorsed.
The Fourth of July was the hottest day recorded in the history of the world. Mass murders took place at Independence Day festivities in Philadelphia, Baltimore, and in Washington, DC.
