SUMMARY:Keep Families Together: Out of Cages & In Their Homes!
DESCRIPTION:Immigrant families face separation constantly\, this time thanks to Ben Carson and his Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). A new proposal would evict mixed-status families from subsidized housing\, requiring everyone except senior citizens to prove citizenship. This would mean that if a woman living in subsidized housing has her brother who is applying for asylum temporarily staying with her\, both would face eviction unless the brother moved out. More than 100\,000 families would face eviction if this rule is put in place. \nHUD admits its mixed-status rule will NOT reduce wait lists\, but WILL reduce the quality and quantity of housing. This is clearly another attack on immigrants and poor people\, and we will let the government know why we will not stand for it. \nJoin us to take part in the federal public comment period to oppose this rule change and take a stand against family separation. Public comment periods are an incredibly effective way to influence federal policy. \nThis event is part of Just Harvest’s Power of the Pen series—monthly events to write letters to public officials to create real world change. Dinner will be provided.

SUMMARY:2019 Film Festival | Urban Roots
DESCRIPTION:Once an industrial powerhouse of a lost American era\, Detroit has been devastated by the loss of half its population due to the collapse of manufacturing. By the looks of it\, the city has died. But now\, in the empty lots\, in the old factory yards\, and in-between the sagging blocks of housing\, seeds of change are taking root. \nDedicated citizens have started an urban environmental movement with the potential to transform not just a city after its collapse\, but also a country after the end of its industrial age. Urban Roots shows Detroiters working to fulfill their vision for locally-grown\, sustainably farmed food in a city where people—as in much of the county—have found themselves cut off from real food. \n  \nSponsored by the Justice Committee\nRuntime: 94 minutes \n  \n\nAbout the 2019 Summer Film Festival\nEach year\, the ELPC Mission Board and Mission Committees sponsor and host a summer film series. This year’s themes are a continuation of our ongoing focus on facing systemic racism.

SUMMARY:Renewable Energy Fair
DESCRIPTION:Do you want to find out how to switch to all renewable electricity? Are you trying to decide whether solar panels would work on your house? Do you know how to measure your carbon footprint? \nTo find answers to these questions and other energy-use matters\, you are invited to attend a Renewable Energy Fair following Sanctuary worship. Representatives from renewable energy suppliers will be available to answer your questions and help you make the switch. There also will be a solar energy adviser. Please bring your electric bill. \nAnother important action is to calculate your carbon footprint. Information and help will be provided\, and as well as an explanation of the carbon offset concept. For example\, offset your air travel by paying into a project that reduces CO2 emissions by an equivalent amount. If you know your yearly electricity use (in kWh\, from the electric company)\, your yearly gas use (in MCF or therms\, from the gas company)\, and approximate annual miles traveled\, the Environmental Team can help you determine your carbon footprint. \nA light lunch will be provided. For more information\, contact Nancy Heastings at n.heastings@comcast.net. \nHosted by the Environmental Team of the Justice Committee

SUMMARY:Environmental Book Club: The Story of Stuff
DESCRIPTION:The Environmental Team of the Justice Committee invites you to read The Story of Stuff: How Our Obsession with Stuff is Trashing the Planet\, Our Communities\, and Our Health – and a Vision for Change\, by Annie Leonard (2010\, 352 pages). Available on Amazon \nWe have a problem with stuff. With just 5% of the world’s population\, we’re consuming 30% of the world’s resources and creating 30% of the world’s waste. If everyone consumed at U.S. rates\, we would need three to five planets! In her sweeping\, groundbreaking book\, Leonard tracks the life of the stuff we use every day—where our cotton t-shirts\, laptop computers\, and aluminum cans come from; how they are produced\, distributed\, and consumed; and where they go when we throw them out. Like Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring\, The Story of Stuff is a landmark book that will change the way people think—and the way they live. \nLeonard’s message is startlingly clear: we have too much stuff\, and too much of it is toxic. It is a system in crisis\, but Leonard shows us that this is not the way things have to be. It’s within our power to stop the environmental damage\, social injustice\, and health hazards caused by polluting production and excessive consumption\, and Leonard shows us how. Expansive\, galvanizing\, and sobering yet optimistic\, The Story of Stuff transforms how we think about our lives and our relationship to the planet. \nWe hope you’ll read the book and join us for discussion on Thursday\, March 12\, 7 pm\, in the Trustees Room. For more information or to tell us you are coming\, contact Nancy Heastings at n.heastings@comcast.net.

SUMMARY:Canceled: Lenten Book Study: White Awake
DESCRIPTION:  \nLent is a holy time for lament\, repentance\, and change. Many approach Lent with a commitment to “give up” a special treat\, behavior\, or habit. As part of our focus on Facing Systemic Racism\, the Mission Board encourages ELPC members and friends to embrace all aspects of Lent by engaging in an intentional read and weekly discussion of Daniel Hill’s book\, White Awake: An Honest Look at What It Means to be White. \nIn the book\, Pastor Hill reflects on a personal journey toward greater recognition of white privilege and white culture\, as well as how to effectively seek reconciliation among racial groups. This faith-based resource helps white people come to grips with the reality of privilege and institutional racism within ourselves\, our country\, and our churches. \nJoin us in the McKelvy Room. Copies of the book will be available for purchase and a light lunch will be served. Our discussion schedule is as follows: \n\nMarch 8 | Forward and Chapters 1–3 (45 pages)\nMarch 15 | Chapters 4–6 (53 pages)\nMarch 22 | Chapters 7–8 (44 pages)\nMarch 29 | Chapters 9–10 (44 pages)\n\nChildcare is available with reservation one week prior. Email Sara Hackett at SaraH@coh.net for details.
