HOLIDAY HAMPERS

We are once again putting together Christmas hampers. This year’s recipients are a single mother and her 12 year old boy and a senior who could use a little extra this Christmas. See the  link to a sign-up form if you’d like to contribute any of the requested items. These gifts will be wrapped at the December 7th craft-making workshop and delivered to Family Services on December 15. Money for grocery gift-certificates is also welcome. The gifts can be dropped off at the homes of Robyn, Anne, Jacky or Shelley prior to December 7th or brought to the workshop.

Please sign up for what you can contribute here.


SOCIAL JUSTICE

From Lead Now:

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and the federal government have just outlined a deal that will pave the way for a dirty tar sands pipeline from Alberta to the BC coast — without Indigenous consent and threatening our oceans, wildlife, rivers, and forests.

If you don't want another pipeline through the BC Coast, you can add your name to the Leadnow petition.

From Climate Legacy Canada:

The Canada Pension Plan abandoned its biggest climate commitment earlier this year and continues investing billions into fossil fuels each year. Now it’s being sued by four young people who worry that if CPP Investments doesn’t take this climate risk more seriously, its benefits will be significantly diminished by the time their generation starts to retire. One way to support the case is by writing to CPP Investments
leadership to demand they improve their approach to managing climate risk. You can also learn more about the case by reading their original press release, or this excellent coverage from The Energy Mix.

BCs new Clean BC report has been released.  Read it here.

Here is West Coast Environmental Law’s take on the report.

Trans Spaces of Safety & Belonging: Transforming Hearts Collective 3-Session Program

Pt. I: Tuesday, Dec 2: 4:00 pm
Pt. II: Thursday, Dec 4: 4:00 pm 
Pt. III: Tuesday, Dec 9: 4:00 pm
Q&A: Saturday, Dec13: 10:00 am 

At a time when anti-trans legislation and hostility are on the rise, how do we live into our principles and values of worth, dignity and inclusion? Many have asked, “what can we do?”

In December, we’re bringing in the Transforming Hearts Collective, a collective of Unitarian Universalist queer, transgender and nonbinary faith leaders who provide support and educational programming, to offer Canadians a free 3-part program on building safer, more welcoming spaces for trans and queer people.

We’re inviting allies, accomplices, and advocates from each congregation and community to take part. All are welcome, and we especially encourage each congregation/community/organization to send at least two ally representatives who can bring the learning back to their communities so we can flourish in this work together. In this time, we’ll learn from the program’s creators, connect across our networks, and equip our communities with the tools to act with courage and compassion.

There will be 4 sessions all together. On December 2, 4 and 9, CUC staff will host the 3-part “Responding to the Anti-Trans Movement” course. This online course has 25-35 minute videos by Alex Kapitan, accompanied by reflections and resources. CUC staff will play the video and facilitate the reflections.

On Saturday, December 13, the series will finish with a Q&A session with Transforming Hearts Collective co-creators Alex Kapitan and Teo Drake.
