Food Week of Action
2024-10-13 - 2024-10-20
Food Week of Action is happening Oct. 13-20 to coincide with World Food Day (Oct. 16) and congregations and civil society organizations participate by co-sponsoring Food Week and announcing/promoting the events or actions they are doing during October around hunger, food justice and food sovereignty, and environmental justice. Many congregations co-sponsor Food Week and their events have started to trickle in. The webpage is at www.pcusa.org/foodweek
This year we’re especially excited about the Food Sovereignty Prize, which is going to Little Village Environmental Justice Organization and the Zapatistas. See https://climatejusticealliance.org/workgroup/food-sovereignty/
And this year, the US Food Sovereignty Alliance is co-hosting it with the Climate Justice Alliance, a former grantee partner and a group that we work with regularly on climate and food justice campaigns and initiatives. We are gathering from Oct. 13-16 in Chicago for the ceremony and to spend a couple days doing agricultural exchange, political education and building relationships with folks doing food sovereignty work around the country

"Now What?" A PC(USA) Town Hall on protecting immigrant and refugee rights near and far
2024-12-11 17:30 - 19:00
There are many questions that come rushing in the wake of the election. How are Presbyterians going to respond to these threats to our community? What resources are out there? What is the future of sanctuary? What is the future of refugee resettlement and other temporary protections? How are the Presbyterian Church denomination offices going to respond?
This zoom gathering is designed to help concerned Presbyterians discern what we can do now to prepare for the new Administration’s anti-immigrant policies. We will share how the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) denominational offices are gearing up and what resources are already available. This is also a time to share your particular concerns so that our offices can support you and your congregations in the year ahead as we seek to be faithful in the midst of potentially devastating actions for our families, our churches and our communities.
