Free Webinar: The Land Back Movement–Putting Indigenous Lands in Indigenous Hands
February 21, 2023 @ 11:00 am
National IPL’s Creation Justice Webinar will focus on the Land Back Movement which has been succinctly described as the generations long struggle to put “Indigenous lands back into Indigenous hands.” In this webinar, organizers and practitioners within the movement will place the struggle within the context of dismantling the Doctrine of Discovery and the ongoing work of reparatory justice.
Speakers will include Katerina Gea from the Coalition to Dismantle the Doctrine of Discovery, Angie Comeaux from Hummingbird Springs Farm, and Sarah Augustine who authored “The Land Is Not Empty: Following Jesus in Dismantling the Doctrine of Discovery.” Even if you cannot make the webinar at its scheduled time on February 8th at 1 pm ET, still sign up, and we will send a link to the recording.
Along with Interfaith Power & Light and other faith organizations, the UCC Environmental Justice Ministry is co-hosting another webinar entitled, “Planning the Energy Future of Your Congregation.” Learn about benchmarking your facilities’ energy use, so that your church can cut energy costs and care for creation. This is the first step in planning to take advantage of federal funding now available to faith communities.
