DESCRIPTION:When you think of the upcoming Global Climate Strike (Sept. 20-27), who is 
 leading the demonstrations? Young people, right? They’re increasingly 
 taking the lead for climate related actions through organizations such as 
 Sunrise. “The dark hour in America cannot last,” proclaims this new 
 youth-centered activist group. \nBut marching beside the young people is 
 spirit if not always in body will be revered elders in the ecology movement 
 such as Joanna Macy, the author of 13 books and a veteran of six decades of 
 political activism. \nIn fact, Macy and Sunrise people will literally be 
 standing side by side at an upcoming event “Rising to the Climate 
 Emergency: What Can we Count On?” at the Berkeley Fellowship of Unitarian 
 Universalists on September 8. \n“The climate emergency is really 
 serious,” says Macy, “but we don’t want people to feel paralyzed by 
 the enormity of the challenge. We must help everyone find resources within 
 themselves to realize they can make a difference.” \nMacy is most noted 
 for “The Work that Reconnects,” workshops that inspired thousands to 
 experience their connections with each other and gain motivation to play 
 their part in creating a sustainable civilization. \nMacy’s spiritual 
 descendants in the Sunrise Movement are definitely eager to play their 
 part. They’re building a mass movement to stop the climate crisis and 
 create millions of good-paying jobs in the process. \nBerkeley Fellowship 
 of Unitarian Universalists is one of the epicenters of progressive 
 political action in Berkeley, through its own actions and the many activist 
 groups that meet there. All who are concerned about the climate crisis are 
 invited to join Joanna Macy and Sunrise at 10:30 AM September 8. Free 
 potluck and lively conversation will follow.\n\nFree to the 
 public.\nWheelchair accessible.\n\n
