There’s a LOT going on in the world. Climate disasters, war and violence, political discord, not to mention the everyday challenges of work, family, health, etc. It’s easier in a community where we can find connection and support for the emotional and spiritual wherewithal to hold it all.
Please join GreenFaith US for one or both of these upcoming programs focused on grief.
NOVEMBER 20 and DECEMBER 18, 2023
5-6:30 PM PT/ 6-7:30 MT / 7-8:30 CT / 8-9:30 ET
Each program will be participatory and therefore uniquely shaped by who is in the room. Together, we will witness our individual and collective grief and discover new ways of living and being in relationship to our beautiful planet. We’ll root in our unique faiths and cultivate collective resilience and hope — and remain ever committed to taking action.

Organizing for an inclusive movement and the future we want takes dedication, and ensuring everyone is supported and freely able to participate as themselves is criticial for a strong climate movement – join 350 Colorado in learning!
In these two sessions you will learn about some basic principles of inclusive organizing and common pitfalls to avoid, how 350 Colorado works in this space, and how you can help insure the climate movement is as inclusive as possible.

Session 2: Making Our Organizing Inclusive
Thursday, December 12th, 6-8pm

………………………………………………………………………..
The original curriculum of these workshops is thanks to Angela Davis of iProject LLC, a Senior Advisor on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. 350CO staff, board members, and activists further developed the material and created additional content that is from the landscape of our organizing here in Colorado and not only our efforts as an organization for an inclusive movement, but our hope that as many people as possible will join us in this vision.
And they more than just a learning opportunity. These workshops represent our collective commitment to reshape society towards an inclusive climate solution framework that addresses the root causes of injustice in our communities.
Imagine them as the seedbeds where we’ll learn how to keep making inclusivity central to our efforts, helping us transition to a clean energy economy. We’ll explore what it means to move away from an extractive way of being towards a more sustainable and just future. We want to move toward a movement that can equip all individuals with the resources needed to participate fully in climate organizing, through support, mutual aid, and accountability.
We acknowledge that we’re on a journey, that there’s much to learn and unlearn. But together, we can create spaces where growth and learning are an integral part of our climate justice mission.
