Race and Climate Justice Action
Race and Climate Justice Action (RCJA) is an MZMC program emerging from members asking for organized activities to support work for race and climate justice outside the walls of MZMC. RCJA is focused on partnering with community groups and following the leadership of people of color to honor our vows to practice for the well-being of all. The RCJA steering committee is Ted O'Toole, Ben Connelly, and Jey Ehrenhalt. Events are organized in response to calls from our wider community.
Cutting Through the Noise
Saturdays, June 7th-July 12th, 10:30-11:30 am
George Floyd Square
With Facilitators Rev. Dr. Jia Starr Brown and Rev. Ben Connelly
Weekly guest presenters: Rev. Terri Burnor, Ameera Khan, Rev. John Lee, and Chris Stedman representing a diverse array of religious and non-religious perspectives.
In a world rife with systemic injustice, “cutting through the noise” has never been more critical. Let us come together with a commitment to justice to embody peace and bear witness in shared public places. Each week, a facilitator representing a unique religious or non-religious perspective will provide reflections on the value of collective, quiet spiritual practice as a means to counter violence and oppression. Attendees will be invited to pray, reflect, meditate according to their own faith tradition, or simply rest in the sights, sounds, and feelings of the present moment. People of all and no faiths are invited to participate!
With a hope for deepening wellness, this six-week series will introduce and practice “retreat” in real time and space…right where we are!
To support this offering, we suggest a donation of $10 per event. No one will be turned away.
