SUMMARY:Faith Voice for Clean Air
DESCRIPTION:September is recognized by many Christians as the Season of Creation\, an opportunity to pray and care for God’s creation. On Monday\, Sept. 20\, at 6 p.m.\, EMO is hosting a public comment writing workshop to gather people of faith and assist them in sharing public comment to advocate for bold climate action.  \n\nAs part of the Oregon Climate Action Plan (Gov. Brown’s 2020 executive order on climate)\, the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is creating a new “Climate Protection Program” to regulate and cut climate pollution from some of Oregon’s top emitters to help Oregon meet our greenhouse gas reduction targets.\n\nAdvocates have pushed the DEQ to make some positive changes to the rule language\, however\, DEQ’s draft rules still fall short in a few key areas. Currently\, the DEQ is asking for public comments on its draft Climate Protection Program. For more information on this process\, click here.\n\nAt the workshop\, we’ll guide you in sharing your personal connection to climate change as a person of faith and as a citizen of Oregon. We will be discussing why it is important for the DEQ to adhere to climate science\, hold all major polluters accountable\, and invest to reduce pollution in and benefit frontline communities. As Christians\, we are called on to play a part in changing our collective response to the unprecedented threat of climate change and environmental degradation. Please join us and use your voice to speak up to the DEQ!\n\nRegister now. \nFor more information\, email khogan@emoregon.org!

SUMMARY:Day of Remembrance
DESCRIPTION:On Juneteenth this year\, many people gathered in person or online to bear witness to the death by lynching of Alonzo Tucker in Coos Bay\, Ore.\, in 1902. In partnership with the Oregon Remembrance Project and the Equal Justice Initiative\, this act of public remembrance called on people of faith to reckon with the racist legacy we inherit in the Pacific Northwest\, and the ways in which that legacy continues to live in on in subtle and blatant ways up until the present day. \nBut the larger work of truth\, repair and reconciliation continues. In this spirit\, we invite you to a state wide “Day of Remembrance” on Sunday\, Sept. 19\, 2021. Sept. 18\, 1902\, was the day of Alonzo Tucker’s lynching\, and we invite you to acknowledge this anniversary by joining us the following day to honor Alonzo Tucker’s memory through a renewed commitment to justice. \nWe invite you to participate in the following ways: \n\n\n\nFocus your worship service that weekend on the racist legacy we inherit in Oregon and the ways in which your community can acknowledge and reckon with that legacy in your local context.\nInvite people of faith in your community networks to join us online from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Sunday\, Sept. 19\, for a special “Liturgy of Remembrance.”\nConsider joining us for an informational session from 7:30 to  8:30 p.m. on Sunday\, Sept. 19\, on the upcoming “Reckoning with Racism” Learning and Discernment cohort. This new iteration of Common Table’s “Reckoning with Racism” is open to faith community teams who participated in last year’s cohort and new teams who have never engaged in this work before. All that’s required is a group of at least four committed volunteers from your faith community\, denominational body or organization. For more information contact our team at commontable@emoregon.org.\n\n\n\nYou can also email commontable@emoregon.org to RSVP for #2 & #3 above\, or to let us know if you plan on hosting a special service that weekend. We’d love to collect sermons\, liturgies\, art projects and/or other special reflections around this focus to share with others. \nWe live in a time when our history is actively being erased and re-written by some segments of our society\, and all acts of remembrance are acts of resistance.

SUMMARY:Treaty People Gathering: Stop Line 3 Pipeline
DESCRIPTION:EMO’s Oregon Interfaith Power & Light is helping organize an interfaith delegation to Minnesota June 5–8 for the Treaty People Gathering to stop the Line 3 pipeline.

SUMMARY:2020 Collins Summit: Shalom in Divided Times
DESCRIPTION:It’s no secret we are living in unprecedented and divided times. Racial unrest\, political tensions and COVID-19 have impacted nearly every aspect of our lives. What do shalom and unity look like in 2020? Shalom is a Hebrew word that means wholeness\, harmony and peace. It’s a complex idea\, often oversimplified\, similar to the way “unity” becomes a euphemism for sameness. \nThrough a virtual format\, we will explore these racial\, political and social divisions\, asking how we bring our whole selves to the table and stay engaged in light of our differences\, not in spite of them. \nThe Summit will include a lecture from Lisa Sharon Harper\, a live Q&A\, and the opportunity to hear from members of the Common Table and their important work. \n  \nFEATURING \nLisa Sharon Harper\nA prolific speaker\, writer and activist\, Ms. Harper is the founder and president of FreedomRoad.us. She is one of today’s leading voices on the topics of poverty\, racial and gender justice\, and transformational civic engagement. Learn more. \nThe Common Table\nAn Oregon-wide collection of interfaith leaders who have committed to learning more about one another\, trusting one another and standing together—even in the midst of real differences. Learn from this groundbreaking effort to cultivate shalom and create real unity. Learn more. \n  \nONLINE FORMAT\nWatch on your computer\, phone\, tablet or smart TV.\n7 to 8:30 p.m.\, Wednesday\, Nov. 18\, 2020.\nRegistration fee: $10 (scholarships available). \n  \nABOUT THE COLLINS SUMMIT\nSince 1967\, the Collins Summit (previously the Collins Lecture) has explored the intersection of faith\, ethics and public life.
