Marcella Brasset, Campaign Manager at Market Forces to speak at UCAN OCOP

From UCAN Uniting Climate Action Network

At our next Online Community of Practice (OCOP), we are very excited to be joined by Marcella Brasset, Campaign Manager at Market Forces!

Market Forces works to expose the institutions funding environmentally destructive projects. Their work is underpinned by the belief that banks, superannuation funds and governments responsible for our money should use it to protect our environment, not damage it. She will be giving us intel on the work Market Forces does, the role of ‘divestment’, and will be sharing her background in climate action.

Our OCOP meets on the 3rd Thursday of the month via Zoom (next one on the 16th July) from 7-8:30pm (AEST). We’d love to see you there!

The link is below, but if you’ve never been before, send Michael an email at <advocacy@uniting.org> so they know you’re coming and can send a calendar invite.

Hope is complicated: faith, climate anxiety and action (Jessica Morthorpe)

Spiritual Misfits Podcast

Jessica Morthorpe was interviewed on the latest episode of the Spiritual Misfits podcast, chatting with Will and Caro about why caring for creation was never a fringe issue, how a community garden can become a place that literally saves lives, sitting with climate grief without rushing past it, and the ancient gifts the church has been carrying all along — that might be exactly what an anxious and lonely world needs now.
