<DIV>Hi Jane and Nancy,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you for this idea and the tree. Are we able to put many leaves on the
tree and not just choose one? It is much too hard for me to choose just a few
because I love all of these causes! I am especially yearning for justice for
animals because they do not speak our language in words, (and they don’t have
thumbs) so they cannot take care of themselves. Also for Our Mother Earth
because she is so valuable and life sustaining even for those who defile
her.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Many Blessings,</DIV>
<DIV>Brenda L.</DIV>

<P>Hi FUUSM friends,</P>
<P> </P>
<P>The tree of life for democracy and our social justice work is up in the
sanctuary. As I mentioned last week this is a participatory project. If you are
willing we have made symbolic green leaves for you to write about democracy and
this social justice work. </P>
<P> </P>
<P>Nancy Lee and I will be handing out these "leaves at Sunday's service for you
to write on them about some aspect of this work. Here is a handy but incomplete
list of some of them -- social justice for: </P>
<UL>
<LI>the earth or planet
<LI>the animals
<LI>the disabled
<LI>economic equality
<LI>public education
<LI>clean energy
<LI>freedom for all
<LI>affordable health care
<LI>human rights
<LI>LGBTQ equality
<LI>prison reform
<LI>racial justice
<LI>social justice
<LI>women's rights</LI></UL>
<P>to name just a few, add your own or some thing else. There will be a basket
for you to hand them back and we will put them on the tree. We will be doing
this all month. Maybe by the end of the month the tree in the sanctuary will
reflect the greening of Marietta this spring. </P>
<P> </P>
<P>Jane Tumas-Serna</P>
<P>Nancy Lee<BR></P>
