NOTE: This first message originally appeared in the Create Climate Justice newsletter. UUs showed up for climate justice in deep ways at this year’s virtual General Assembly (stay tuned for recordings to be made public after Labor Day) — including an impressive and emergent rapid response mobilization from Young Adults, building off of decades of […]
