“Preemptive Radical Inclusion” with CB Beal
CB is returning to our congregation live and virtual to share stories and reflections on the framework of Preemptive Radical Inclusion as an entryway to increase equity and justice among ourselves and in the world; a way we embody Beloved Community.
CB Beal, they/them, is a long-time UU religious and social justice educator based in Western Massachusetts. They specialize in facilitating transformative learning experiences that involve issues of marginalization, oppression, and privilege. They do this by creating safer, braver spaces where people can hold the complexities of their lives in perspective to learn, grow, and make meaningful change.
After-Service Forum: Trees as Climate Solutions
Restoring Earth Connection will present on the benefits trees provide for our community, local efforts to get protective tree ordinances, and efforts to preserve legacy forests in Capitol Forest. Speaker: Lynn Fitz-Hugh, Executive director of Restoring Earth Connection.
The PropagationNation will discuss the benefits of planting coast redwoods and giant sequoias in Pacific Northwest forests to improve climate resilience, carbon storage, and economic stability. Speaker: Philip Stielstra, co-founder and president of PropagationNation.
