SUMMARY:Climate Justice and the Right to Food
DESCRIPTION:The impact of climate change on poor rural households is already staggeringly high. What to do? One approach is to tackle the issue in terms of the “Right to Food.” Other approaches include innovative strategies the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) has developed in the context of disaster recovery and climate risk reduction. \nAll are invited to a Climate Justice related Lunch & Learn after worship on UMCOR Sunday\, March 15th\, hosted by the Climate Justice Working Group at Seattle First. Dan Gustafson\, a member who is the former Deputy Director-General of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations will present. \nA Zoom option is available for people and congregations that would like to attend but can’t make it in person due to the distance. Parking in Seattle First’s garage is also free for attending the event. \nThose who plan to attend are invited to register here ahead of time so that Seattle First knows how much food to prepare. If you register to attend via Zoom\, the link will be sent upon registration.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Lifelong Climate Activist Bill McKibben
DESCRIPTION:In-Person and Livestream | Free and open to the public \nThird Act Washington presents author\, educator and environmental activist Bill McKibben on July 2 at 7:00pm in a talk about what’s needed now to save our planet and democracy\, what’s bringing him joy and gives him hope\, and why he believes Third Act can have a huge impact on making our world a better place for all of us\, and for generations to come. \nBill is renowned for mobilizing popular support for action on climate justice and democracy.  He has authored 20 books\, including The End of Nature (1989) which is regarded as the first book for a general audience about climate change. He also helped found 350.org\, the first global grassroots climate campaign\, which has organized protests on every continent\, including Antarctica\, for climate action.  In 2022 he founded Third Act\, a national organization with over 70\,000 members that organizes people over the age of 60 for action on climate\, justice\, and democracy. \nBill will give a call to action to inspire and motivate attendees to take stepped-up action on climate and democracy\, especially in the face of intensified climate disruption\, political polarization and backlash\, and our democracy in peril. His talk will be followed by a Q & A. \nRegister Today!
