Episcopal City Mission is excited to invite you to the zoom launch of our Emergent Action Network, where we aim to provide a hub for Episcopal Churches and people in MA combining accessible ways to take action, spiritual grounding and sustenance, and guidance from BIPOC-led grassroots initiatives. In the face of so many federal threats to our communities and to democracy itself, we need more than ever to truly lean into our faith and our larger faith community.
We’ll be exploring these questions together:
How do we cut through the noise and focus our energies to have the most impact?
How do we sustain ourselves spiritually for the long haul?
How can we make sense of these national developments at the level of our own state, communities, and lives? What does our local response need to look like?
While the Emergent Action Network is not focused on a single issue, we can expect there to be ongoing themes:
Protecting immigrants within and beyond our churches;
Buffering against MA-level impacts of federal cuts on social safety nets;
How the racial wealth gap in MA intersects with current national political events;
And community-building practices for spiritual strength through the struggle.
This event will mark the start of the Emergent Action Network which will include monthly community conversations, state and local level actions to buffer against the harms of the Trump administration, and more. We call this “emergent” because it will be shaped as we go. There is so much we can’t know - and yet there is so much we can do.
