To:


The Climate Justice Revival (September 28-29, 2024) has several
opportunities for individuals to share their creative ideas around climate
justice.

*A Sermon Contest.* 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? *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. *Learn more <https://www.uuclimatejustice.org/sermon>*.*

*Art Contest and Creative Showcase to Commemorate the UU Climate Justice
Revival.*
*The Art contest is competitive and has a deadline of September 1,
2024. *Imagine
that it's 2050 and we've achieved all of our wildest hopes for collective
liberation. What does that re-imagined reality look like? How does it feel?
What have our values led us to collectively abolish or move away from?

*The Creative Showcase is non-competitive and will accept submissions
ongoing.* Bring your creativity and flair as we Reimagine Together a world
where all communities thrive!  UUs of all ages are invited to color,
doodle, draw, design, knit, sew, weave, crochet - whatever your creative
spirit calls forth to celebrate the first-ever UU Climate Justice
Together.
