RISE St. James and Lowlander Center Present to Climate Crisis Policy Faith Group

Ms Sharon Lavigne and Rev. Kristina Peterson were presenters for the Climate Crisis Policy network’s working group on 29 January 2021. The network, coordinated by the Unitarian Universalist for Social Justice, extended the invitation to the Lowlander Center and RISE St. James due to our partnership with the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee. The CCP working group reflects a robust group of faith leaders who are crafting and/or supporting legislative policies that respond to core faith values. In so doing, this group listens to frontline communities to understand the impact of the climate crisis on the lives and lifeways of their families and community. Ms. Lavigne shares a powerful faith message of courage and hope and a challenge to us to become more acutely aware and actively engaged in the right to life.
