SUMMARY:Social Justice
DESCRIPTION:Save Soil Event: Speaker: Greg Maslowe\, NCF Manager.  Newton Community Farm has been farmed continuously for over 350 years. Despite this long history of agricultural use\, the farm’s soil is a thriving biome with high levels of organic matter. Our goal\, as the current users of this land\, is to ensure that it will remain fertile and productive for future generations and a beneficial habitat for the abundant more than human life in this area. What techniques does NCF use to ensure these goals? How do these relate to contemporary notions such as regenerative agriculture? And what can you do to enhance the soil health of your own home or garden? \nPrathyusha Dasari\, a volunteer with the Save Soil movement\, will introduce this global initiative dedicated to addressing the growing soil crisis. Agricultural soil degradation contributes to an estimated 40% of global warming. What has Save Soil accomplished so far—and what can you do to help? SaveSoil.org \nLet us know if you’ll be attending by signing up here. Also on Zoom (Click for Zoom). \nIf you’re able to help with setup or cleanup\, please sign up here: \nThe Social Justice Speaker Series brings excellent speakers to FUUSN monthly during the church year.

SUMMARY:Social Justice Action Presentation: Leadership Development in the Wake of the Recent Election Results
DESCRIPTION:Everyone is invited for our monthly free lunch at noon after coffee hour in the Alliance Room (RSVP required). UU Rev. Jo Murphy will speak about her work as executive director of the UU Mass Action organization coordinating with all the UU congregations in Massachusetts. She will emphasize leadership development in the wake of the recent election\nresults. \nUU Mass Action was founded by Lynn Holbein\, former Co-Chair of the FUUSN Social Action Council before she moved to North Carolina. Their mission is to organize and mobilize UUs in Massachusetts to confront oppression. They provide pathways towards justice and identify opportunities in which we can live our shared values. They build relationships with congregational leaders and work to develop their leadership and engage them in our statewide campaigns. These are campaigns on climate and economic justice\, immigrant justice\, housing justice\, youth engagement and more. Every year in April they lead all congregational teams to lobby their state representatives and senators about pending legislation that need sponsorships and support. Rev. Jo worked as a chaplain at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston for the past two years\, in addition to being a case manager supporting people living with brain injuries. She is a volunteer organizer with the Boston Immigration Justice Accompaniment Network and with the Boston chapter of Standing Up for Racial Justice. \nPlease RSVP (required).
