I am making a midwest call to action. June 6th will be the date of the largest climate change action in the midwest with the Tar Sands Resistance march to be held in St. Paul, MN.

People from states all around Minnesota will be joining in with a regional action as vibrant in execution as the Peoples Climate March. I make this call to action to Commit2Respond to join me an thousands of others in Minnesota for this event.

I am a long-time Unitarian Universalist and member of First Universalist Church of Minneapolis, MN where I was actively involved achieving the congregational certification as a Green Sanctuary. I continue to be active in our Environmental Justice Team.

I recently fulfilled two terms (six years) as a board member of Minnesota Interfaith Power & Light and work actively as a volunteer for this organization.

I am called and activated by our first and seventh principles to take a strong moral stance against climate change; therefore I do what I can to minimize the use of fossil fuels in my home, in my church and in my community. To me, these efforts are a means to achieve environmental justice for those most marginalized in my community and broadly in the world.

Next Step - Be a Leader

Thousands of people of faith and conscience within Unitarian Universalism and beyond are mobilizing to expand our impact on climate justice. Together we are deepening our relationships and partnerships in this vital ministry, and your leadership is needed!
