Adult RE Initiative
Climate Change is real and present and is affecting our Mother Earth - including insects, animals, trees, soil, weather, infrastructure, and human beings. It will cause major negative changes for our children and grandchildren and beyond (the 7th Generation). Climate change is currently impacting millions of people, especially those in the bottom 98% of income. Adult RE has designed a twelve-month challenge to us to change our daily practices that are counter-productive to Mother Earth and replace them with habits that are more conducive to the future.

Webinar: Monday, January 22, 5-6 pm
Many states are trying to restrict LGBTQ+ rights, especially targeting the transgender community. What challenges does Michigan face as it braces for an influx of "refugees" from restrictive states, seeking affirmative health care? What do we need to know about proposed legislation in Michigan? What can religious and community leaders do to support LGBTQ+ people in the face of growing opposition and oppression? We are invited to participate in a webinar with leaders Jay Kaplan, LGBTQ+ Rights Project Staff Attorney, ACLU-Michigan, and Emme Zanotti, Advocacy & Outreach Director, Equality Michigan. This webinar is being presented by Inclusive Justice of Michigan, Jews for a Secular Democracy, and Michigan UU Social Justice Network. Register at this link: https://bit.ly/milgbtq. If you register, then you will receive the link to the recording a few days later. So if you are interested, but unable to attend, please register. |
