Unearthing the Racist Roots of the Climate Crisis: Climate Justice and Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women
TUESDAY MAY 27TH
5pm PT- 6pm MT- 7pm CT- 8pm ET
Join us in learning from Justice Nichols, Program Coordinator for Indigenous Ministries and Tribal Relations for the ELCA, and Brenda Blackhawk, Director of Communications at Central Lutheran Church, for an overview of the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, (MMIW) Sub-Task force, the work being done to highlight advocacy efforts and what implementing educational materials can do. Please check out more resources here! Nichols will discuss the importance of creating pathways for congregations and organizations to connect with local indigenous communities and equip them to help in response to MMIW in their communities. As a network of Lutherans Restoring Creation, this work is part of our justice-seeking vocation as “Green Colonialism” is a particular issue that we are called to recognize, resist, and respond to its impacts.
