I will increase my involvement with Portland Rising and 350.org. Given that I am already a member of my local NAACP chapter, I will ask them about the NAACP Climate Justice Initiative. If they are doing work on this, I will join them. If not, I will offer to help do this work locally.
I spend almost all of my free time working with Citizens’ Climate Lobby (CCL). CCL is a non-partisan advocacy group working to pass federal carbon fee & dividend legislation. I am convinced that through changing the rules of the market to reflect the true cost of burning fossil fuels, we will buy the time to address the more systemic problems of climate justice. My primary work is in doing presentations describing local and global impacts of climate change and how we, as citizens, can encourage our members of Congress to address this issue using the power of respectful dialogue and building on-going relationships with our legislators..
Building alliances in support of Black Lives Matter in Milwaukee. Working with Million Mom March to Washington DC, Pastors United, Coalition for Justice and other local initiatives to create jobs, improve education, create economic opportunity, eliminate the injustices in the criminal justice system, and advocating for policies that eliminate racial profiling, and shooting of black youth by Milwaukee police.
I commit to further supporting the work of Interfaith Power & Light, and will attend at least one in-person meeting or rally in the course of this calendar year, and seek to host a green-energy workshop for homes at my congregation, and will share simple ideas for saving energy and resources through our religious education program and related social media.
