<div><font face="Helvetica" style="font-size:14.666667px"><b>A Sermon Contest.</b> Ministers and lay leaders alike, are encouraged to submit a sermon reimagining climate justice for a new era and bringing a spirit of revival and renewal to our work. Imagine
that it's 2050 and we've achieved all of our wildest hopes for collective liberation. What is present in that re-imagined reality? What have our values led us to collectively abolish or move away from? The modern prison abolitionist movement imagines a future
without police and prisons, drawing on deep convictions, faith, imagination, and hope to do so. What is the parallel vision for the climate justice movement that avoids the risks of prioritizing short-term gains or the distractions that so often divide our
focus? How would our world transform if love was at the center of our climate actions and collective liberation were upheld as a uniting goal across all of the movement spaces that matter most? <b>Holding this vision at the forefront of our efforts, all
sermon submissions should intentionally address climate as an intersectional justice issue. Deadline is August 1, 2024. </b><a href="https://www.uuclimatejustice.org/sermon" target="_blank">Learn more</a><b>.</b></font></div>
