37] – Food & Water Action [act@messages.fwaction.org] is holding a virtual volunteer meeting on Wed., June 26 at 6 PM ET. Talk about the latest in climate, energy, and water news in the state! After failing to release a climate package for 100% clean energy in 2024, Governor Moore issued an executive order calling on government agencies to take another year to study how Maryland can begin implementing its climate pollution reduction plan. Unfortunately, we don’t have another year to waste. The time is now for Maryland to be tough on polluters and retire harmful fossil fuels. On the call, hear about the good and bad of this executive order as we continue the fight for 100% clean energy.

38] – Faithful America [mail@faithfulamerica.org] on Wed., June 26 at 6 PM ET will host a webinar: "Baptistland: A Memoir of Abuse, Betrayal, and Transformation" with author Christa Brown. Faithful America will be part of a whole series of author conversations during the summer. Brown is an advocate for survivors of sexual abuse in the church. When Christa first spoke out about the sexual abuse she endured in her Texas childhood church, she never imagined it would expose the ethical chasm at the core of the Southern Baptist Convention: male religious leaders so focused on institutional protection that they sacrifice the safety of children.

39] – FCNL [support@fcnl.org] is inviting you on Wed., June 26 from 6:30 to 7:30 PM ET for a virtual Quaker Change maker event. Join in for “Faith in Our Communities: Violence Interrupters at Work.” Gun Violence Awareness Month takes place every June to shine a light on the heartbreaking number of individuals and communities across the country that are harmed by gun violence. While mass shootings make headlines, community violence intervention and violence interrupter programs often do not. Yet efforts to stop the cycles of violence and address the root causes of systemic injustice are very important.
Hear from two organizers working to empower their communities and build safer futures: Rev. Frederick LaMarr, pastor and grassroots organizer with Ministries 4 Movement in Columbus, OH, and Ashley Myers, who has spent the last nine months organizing in Denver, CO.
