Creating Social Change
Creating Social Change
As we lean into creating a Bioregional Learning Center for the Great Lake Erie Southern Shore (GLESS) at Kelly’s Working Well Farm, we are embarking on a Learning Journey with the goal of developing a shared understanding of our place in this time. Using a wide variety of activities, both online and IRL, together we will explore our roles, both individually and collectively in, not only surviving, but flourishing in the regenerative world our hearts know is possible. There is no charge and each person can determine their own level of participation. Register here: Social Change in the GLESS

Interfaith Vigils Across Ohio May 23-30
Interfaith Vigils Across Ohio May 23-30
Between May 23 and May 30, communities across Ohio are coming together for a statewide week of interfaith vigils in solidarity with people held in civil immigration detention (a.k.a. ICE jail). Faith leaders, organizers, and community members will raise their voices, hold space for reflection, and stand in collective action. This coordinated week of action calls for:
An end to ICE detention
Transparency on detention facility funding
An end to 287(g) agreements
Vigils may include interfaith prayers, brief speaking programs, and peaceful reflection with signs and candles. Attend a vigil near you, or organize one in your own area to be part of this statewide effort!
