The Interfaith Climate Retreat is a call to action, bringing together faith leaders and community members for a powerful series of film screenings, discussions, and collective reflection on climate change. The film screenings feature The Week, which was designed to help everyone to engage with the topic. Across all spiritual traditions, there is a shared responsibility to care for the Earth—not only for ourselves but for future generations. Through an interfaith lens, we will explore the urgency of the climate crisis and the transformative power of community-driven action.

Kevin A. Young.  ABOLISHING FOSSIL FUELS:  Lessons from Movements that Won.  PM Press.
To win the fight against fossil fuels, the climate movement must learn from past victories. Kevin Young shows that electing and pressuring politicians has rarely been successful — that real gains have almost always been the product of upsurges in the fields, factories and streets. He offers lessons for building a multiracial working-class climate movement that can win a global green transition that’s both equitable and fast.
