SUMMARY:Sierra Club Climate Change Committee Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Zoom! https://zoom.us/j/5133069449\n \n6:30-7:15 Action Teams \n7:15-8:00+ Bruce Melton Presents: Climate Change Across America – After Covid\nMelton presents his first filming trip since covid; to Southwest Colorado during aspen leaf color in October. Highlighted in this photographic presentation are the 4 million acres of 90 percent spruce beetle kill above 11\,000 feet\, regeneration failure of almost all of Mesa Verde National Park’s pinyon-juniper forests after fires 20 years ago destroyed over 80 percent of the forests in the park\, and the money shot; the fir beetle redkill in Ouray. Join Bruce to find out\, “of course it’s climate change\,” and to understand why these collapsing ecologies are irreversible climate tipping in the raw\, that are now emitting more carbon than they absorb\, and will not stabilize unless we lower Earth’s temperature to below the tipping point of “less than 1.0 degrees C above normal.”\n \nAction Teams: Climate Change Committee Meeting – Discuss Action Teams and allow people to sign up to continue the work to stop climate change\, an imperative if we want our current civilization to survive. We’ve formed Action Teams on Austin Energy\, Pipelines and LNG terminals\, Rio Grande Valley Support\, Carbon Fee & Dividend\, People Power\, Data Entry\, and Presentations and more. We have identified additional action teams we’d like to form\, including Transportation\, Climate Justice\, Partner Organizations\, School Education\, and Social Media. Whether you have only minutes a month or hours a day\, join us to build a mass movement to stop climate change. Or join another group fighting this vital cause.

SUMMARY:Give a Great Story Book Crafting Workshop
DESCRIPTION:You can help reduce waste this holiday season by refining your gift-giving skills. Instead of buying the newest gadget this year\, we encourage everyone to create lifelong memories with their loved ones\, give gifts with unique pasts and give a great story.\n\n \nJoin us to craft gifts out of books. In this workshop\, we will be using every part of discarded books to create two holiday gifts. From the covers\, we will be creating a hidden storage area. Give the gift of the perfect place to hide cables\, charging stations and remotes. We will then be using the pages of the books to create beautiful wreaths that are sure to make any room more festive. Two gifts\, one material\, and a great story to give your loved ones this year.\n\n \nWe will have a limited supply of books. Please bring your own\, if you are able. Selecting your own books creates a lovely opportunity to personalize your gift to the recipient. Are they a huge mystery fan? Do the titles create a message only known to you both? There are so many ways to add meaning to this gift.\n\n \nRegistration is limited to 30. Reserve your free ticket.\nMask policy: we will follow City masking policies on the day of the event. Currently\, we are in Stage 3 of the COVID risk guidance and masks are required while in City buildings. We will update you if that changes

SUMMARY:UWSA December 2021 Unlearning Circle
DESCRIPTION:UWSA’s December 2021 Unlearning Circle will explore the People’s Institute principle: Undoing Racism\, more specifically\, Tensions Experienced by People Who Identify as White in Racial Justice Work.\n \nWe can all agree that racism is harmful and we must work to eradicate it from ourselves and our systems. Undoing racism will be our topic for the December Unlearning Circle. This simple statement for messy\, complicated and intersectional work is broad and we will be focusing on working as self-identifying “white” people as we explore some of the tensions we commonly experience. While our intentions are good\, we often start down a path only to realize that we are engaging in practices that perpetuate racism. Sometimes\, we encounter seemingly contradictory messages that leave us unsure how to proceed\, that tempt us to drop out or paralyze us with fear of “getting it wrong”. The People’s Institute reminds us that Racism is the single most critical barrier to building effective coalitions for social change. How are we in accountable relationships when our actions and/or presence can be harmful in multi racial spaces? How do we balance compassion\, care and universal love with holding each other accountable? How does the tension between our desire to act and not being sure about what to do\, create a barrier to building effective coalitions?\n \nPlease join us this month to explore these confusing experiences and discuss what we can do to navigate these difficult situations so that we can be more effective co-conspirators.
