[Green] Fwd: We're reimagining a world with love at the center - join us!

Fri Feb 9 09:14:42 CST 2024

Dear Green friends,

Sometime soon, when I am not wearing my church lady hat, I intend to spend
some time with the message below from the UUA's Create Climate Justice on
Side With Love.  I suspect there will be some helpful and inspiring
information we can use for our service in April, and perhaps some other
ideas for activism, too.

Dear Dawn,

The Side With Love Team is hosting our annual 30 Days of love, and the
theme of our second week was Reimagining :: Climate Justice
<https://click.everyaction.com/k/78687377/454165509/569029605?nvep=ew0KICAiVGVuYW50VXJpIjogIm5ncHZhbjovL3Zhbi9FQS9FQTAwNS8xLzc5MDg1IiwNCiAgIkRpc3RyaWJ1dGlvblVuaXF1ZUlkIjogIjA5MzVmOWUyLTViYzctZWUxMS04NWY5LTAwMjI0ODIyMzc5NCIsDQogICJFbWFpbEFkZHJlc3MiOiAiZnV1c20ub2ZmaWNlQGdtYWlsLmNvbSINCn0%3D&hmac=RUTnmOKKnt2RE75Bm9JJOlxbbpFCCYHN_S3p-WZZIQk=&emci=31f701b5-c4bb-ee11-b660-002248223197&emdi=0935f9e2-5bc7-ee11-85f9-002248223794&ceid=30479610>.
Reimagining encourages us to shake off our can’ts and embrace our coulds. *What
could the future hold if love was at the center of our selves, of our
relationships, of our actions, of our world?* When we embrace reimagining,
we move past myopic, my-way-or-the-highway thinking and into the space of
possibility; shifting from scarcity into abundance.

*If we are to realize a world with no fossil fuels, where clean energy is a
human right, and all beings thrive, we need new systems, norms, approaches,
and ways of being to bring that world into existence.* Without a clear
vision of the world we want, we prioritize short term gains and false
solutions; we advance goals disconnected from cultural shifts, we divide
our focus, and our movements are out of alignment with justice. *If we
reimagine a world with justice, with love at the center, we cultivate
communities of care where all beings thrive.* Read my full 30 Days of Love,
Reimagining :: Climate Justice reflection here.

Reimagining with Energy Democracy was part of two larger events, Side With
Love’s 30 Days of Love and our Clean Energy as a Human Right series. Throughout
this series, we’ve invited folks to embrace a visionary approach to clean
energy, not just as a technical solution, but as a moral imperative. Rather
than falling into the scarcity mindset so common in climate spaces, we
encourage you to embrace abundance and ensure that our clean energy work
nourishes thriving communities for all.

The Clean Energy as a Human Right series includes:

Climate Justice webinar titled, "Side With Love. Abolitionist Visions on
Climate Justice," with a sunflower with a raised fist stem at the top. In
the top left is a group of people holding hands, sharing a thought bubble
with a heart, and resting atop a half-earth with the words, "Plantcestors,
Spiritual Natural Grounding, and Beyond the Human World." In the bottom
left is a Council of Grandmothers. In the center is a globe with cities
powered by clean energy and oceans with abundant fish and red arrows. On
the right side of the document is a large scene featuring mountains; a
thriving city with clean energy, rivers supporting birds and fish, happy
families, healthy agriculture, and safe roads; and cows, sheep, bees, and
people relaxing in a field near the words, "Loving Each Other" and "Caring
for Each Other." The illustration features a diversity of plants and people
of different races, ages, genders, and abilities. There are bright colors
and gentle lines, and all the beings represented are free, connected, and
safe. Logos: UUA, Create Climate Justice, Green Sanctuary 2030, See in

Our monthly Green Sanctuary 2030 Community meetings celebrate success,
build capacity for teams, elevate how the local context of oppression
shapes our climate action, and celebrate the ways the Green Sanctuary 2030
process supports our work on climate justice, community resilience,
congregational transformation, and mitigation - all balanced with the
faith-filled call to impactful action on climate. Green Sanctuary 2030
