TJMC UUs Advocate Against MTR — See and Hear Us Online!
Your Green Sanctuary Task Force has had a busy summer. Now you can learn more and join us in this major eco-justice movement. On our new web page, you can read blogs and view YouTube videos of our June experience of bearing witness to Mountaintop Removal Coal Mining (MTR) in West Virginia. Also to view excerpts from Laura Wallace’s sermon, “Healing the Gulf,” presented to the UU Congregation of the Peninsula in Newport News Aug. 22, go to our latest web page.
We are also organizing a carpool to attend a rally in Washington, D.C., Sept. 27 (Monday), “Appalachia Rising,” led by our new friends from Charleston, WV.
AND watch for our special worship service on Sunday evening, Oct. 17, A Vigil for the People and Mountains of Appalachia, our second annual vigil marking the International Day for Climate Action. Speakers from Appalachia, mountain music, a Roll Call of the (Lost) Mountains, and Americana quilts will be part of this candlelight vigil to call attention to MTR and our complicity in it. Contact Sharon Baiocco, green@uucharlottesville.org for more information.
