Climate Justice and Creation Care (CJ+CC)
The Climate Justice and Creation Care Team seeks to educate the CCC community about Creation care, connect those who are doing this work, and coordinate action for climate and creation justice. Recent activities include lobbying for green space in Cambridge, participating together in screening The Week, and hosting a Lenten education series on climate change.
Connecting you to Climate Change…
During the 6 weeks of Lent 2025, we are offering 6 categories of thinking and action to invite you to reflect on your practices and make shifts to align to a vision of Climate Justice and sustainable reciprocal relationship with our Mother Earth and all of Creation.
We understand that you may already have reflective personal goals to work toward this Lent and that committing to this much change can be difficult! The most important ways that you can participate in Creation Care is to commit to one small change and/or share a bookmark and a conversation with friends and family. You can make a difference through love in action!
