The Climate Changed for the Better Last Sunday
More than 400,000 people marched in New York City last Sunday, sending a message to world leaders in town for the United Nations Climate Summit that the time to act for Environmental Justice is now. Considerably more than 1,500 Unitarian Universalists (UU) were in the crowd, including many who arrived on the "Climate Justice train" from the west coast.
The Unitarian Universalist Association acts for Environmental Justice as part of its mission to establish comprehensive social justice.
Progress was made but this issue of global of importance requires sustained mobilization. The UUA has launched Commit2Respond to help change the climate for better – and for good.
