Webinar from UCC Creation Justice Ministries
Wednesday, May 12th at 10 AM PT, 1pm ET.
“The good paying jobs are the ones that require us to destroy our world around, to destroy our own backyard,” came a plea from a woman in rural Minnesota. She was calling in to a recent UCC hosted summit on Climate Leadership.
UCC’s Creation Justice chair Brooks Berndt writes that the woman expressed her deep desire that her friends and family who were working in mines, and loggers have other options for jobs.
One of the featured speakers at the next UCC Creation Justice Webinar will be Rev. Dr. Ambrose Carroll, founder of Green the Church, which works at the intersection of Black churches and environmental justice.

Brooks goes on to say: The comments from the Minnesota caller crystalize some of the critical moral issues at the heart of one of the most significant matters of public policy before our country today. With Biden’s announcement of the American Jobs Plan, we are at a vital moment of policy formation for our nation. To speak to this moment, the next Creation Justice Webinar will focus on job creation and climate action. It will feature:
Natalie Mebane, a policy specialist for 350.org who has helped lead the organization’s response to Biden’s plan
Bracken Hendricks, a climate advisor to former president Bill Clinton and the Clinton Foundation, as well as the presidential campaign of Jay Inslee
Rev. Dr. Ambrose Carroll, founder of Green the Church, which works at the intersection of Black churches and environmental justice
