As has become clear, these are threatening times — for our earth, for all creatures, for sustainable human societies, for the health of our soils, air, forests, rivers, reefs, oceans, and viable life everywhere. Yet our governmental and international structures are not taking significant enough action. So as many of us have come to believe, we need to start here — wherever we find ourselves — building resilience and the deep, necessary changes from the ground up.

Sunday, January 12, 3:30-5:30pm, First Unitarian Universalist Church, 93 W. Weisheimer Rd.
