Earth Justice Action Group / ERUUF Book Club Joint Read via Zoom.

The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World by Robin Wall Kimmerer. Our economy is rooted in scarcity, competition, and the hoarding of resources. How, she asks, can we learn from indigenous wisdom and the plant world to reimagine what we value most?
Diet for a Small Planet: 50th Anniversary Edition by Frances Moore Lappé, a book that revolutionized the meaning of our food choices, now with more than a dozen new delights from celebrity chefs including Mark Bittman, Padma Lakshmi, Alice Waters, José Andrés, Bryant Terry, Mollie Katzen, and Sean Sherman. Both books are short and an easy read. Both are vital messages for the serious crisis-times we're living through, where our very survival depends on the choices we make now ~ both individually and collectively.

All, especially first timers, are invited for book discussion and fellowship. This group meets over Zoom on the third Tuesday every month.

During the 2021-2023 biennium, the North Carolina legislature allocated roughly $19 million for 'crisis pregnancy centers' (per the NC Budget and Tax center). These unregulated centers disguise themselves as medical clinics with the aim of dissuading women from having abortions. They often push a religious message. We will learn how UPCs get money from the government even though they push a religious message on their clients. Resources for our discussion:

Class With The Minister: Grief and Presence

Facilitated by Rev. Jim Lewis. This class will be available to attend in person and through Zoom.

Join ERUUFians in a time of holding grief in a multiplicity of ways. This grief group welcomes all those who would identify themselves as experiencing grief and loss. That may be from a death, from the ending of an important situation, from grief over current events, from anticipation of a grief or loss, and other forms not listed here. We will hold one another in compassion and look at practices for soothing, care, wellness, and expression.

RSVP helpful but not required.

For more information, reach out to the ERUUF Main Office.
