ONLINE ZOOM CONVERSATION: Evidence-Based Solutions with the Citizens' Climate Lobby UU Action Team

Please join the UUHA on Thursday for a terrific online discussion!

Evidence-Based Solutions with the Citizens' Climate Lobby UU Action Team
Thursday, June 1st at 8:00pm Eastern/7:00pm Central.

Climate change is overwhelming. So are the number of possible policy solutions and ways for individuals to take action.
 
One approach that has long been proposed by climate scientists and economists is tax on carbon emissions. While politically controversial, “pricing” pollution is based on tested and evidence-based mechanisms to steadily and sustainably transition society away from fossil fuels.
 
For more than 15 years, Citizens’ Climate Lobby (CCL) has been the foremost American organization advocating carbon pricing and working to build political support for its “Carbon Fee & Dividend” plan. And for much of that time, many Unitarian Universalists have enthusiastically joined the ranks of CCL’s citizen lobbyists and volunteers.
 
Join the UUHA for a conversation with Nadine Sapirman, co-leader of the CCL UU Action Team. We’ll learn about CCL’s upcoming legislative efforts as well as its expanding action areas for 2023, as well as why the UU Team is an opportunity for citizen volunteers to pursue evidence-based climate solutions that are informed by UU and Humanist values.

Online Event: Imagine There’s No Heaven - Thurs May 18

Please join the UUHA in a few weeks for a terrific online discussion!

Imagine There’s No Heaven: 

A Humanist Approach to Mortality and Memorial with Rabbi Adam Chalom
Thursday, May 18th at 8:00pm Eastern/7:00pm Central.

If this life is the only life we know, how do we face that reality with courage? If loss is final, how can we celebrate life while acknowledging the depth of our grief? Our connections to other people give our lives meaning and are the key to addressing our mortality and the human need for memorial. Love transcends nature, weaving the living and the dead into the loving embrace of meaningful memory.


Join the UUHA for an opportunity to learn from Rabbi Adam Chalom, leader of Kol Hadash Humanistic Congregation and a past contributor to our Journal of Religious Humanism. Adam will present and then join us for questions and conversation.
