Stand for science, the rule of law, a working government, kindness and common decency.

This event will continue through July 9.

Each session in this series will explore how this spiritual grounding can shape our advocacy, deepen our awareness of the voices and experiences that are often overlooked, and help us listen to the concerns and hopes of younger generations as we consider the future they will inherit. The first session The Long Story of Creation and the Work of Ecological Healing will feature Sr. Joan Brown, OSF.

Some of the corporations are Goldman Sachs for funneling tens of millions of dollars to white supremacist groups through their corporate charities, to calling out major companies like AT&T for dropping their commitments to diversity, equity, and inclusion and fair treatment in the workplace.
