GreenFaith Boulder County: Faiths 4 Climate Justice

Join a Day of Global Sacred Action with an interfaith gathering beginning at the Boulder County Courthouse on Pearl St. We will raise our voices in song, prayer, and love for the earth. We will process to Broadway and Canyon with our banners and signs and hearts. Speaking the sacred "no" to destructive forces of fossil fuel projects. Speaking "yes" to the sacred guidance given to us in so many of the world's religions and spiritual traditions, "yes" to the Great Turning, "yes" to the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible. Opening to support of the greater-than-human world, we come together to know we are not alone and to stand with more than 430 actions all over this beautiful garden in space called Earth.
