Cranky Uncle vs Climate Change
Thursday, March 27, 2025
7:00 pm to 8:15 pm Eastern Time
A virtual program led by
Sr. Cj Willie
Faith Communities Go Green, a collaboration between Green Umbrella and Equasion, believe that faith communities have a powerful voice to offer as the world confronts the climate crisis. Religious organizations and communities can become strong allies in the fight for climate action. All traditions emphasize the moral and ethical imperative to care for creation. Individual efforts are important, but collaboration within and among congregations can bring about much greater change.
MISSION:
Partnering with religious communities to create a more sustainable and equitable future for all by mobilizing their moral voice to reduce the risk of catastrophic climate change.
VISION:
Religious communities collaborating to integrate care for creation in their lives and society.

Start a Green Team!
Having a green team in a house of worship enables lay members to influence attitudes and daily behaviors to better care of our planet for future generations. Show people the connections between environmental issues and other issues they might care about, such as refugees or food insecurity. Use the strengths of the people on your team.

The festival is open to the community and there will be a number of activities for children including a plant give-away, face painting, and a craft area where they will use recycled materials to make art.

- When it comes to climate change, this truly is a golden age—of fake news, post-truths, pluralistic ignorance, conspiracy theories, a willfully ignorant administration, and the Cranky Uncle. You know him. We all have one. That exasperating Thanksgiving blusterer digs in his heels even as the foundation of his denial thaws faster than the Arctic ice caps.
