Hi <<First Name>>,

This weekend is a busy one, with lots of opportunities to take action!

On Saturday, there's the Climate Crisis National Day of Action AND the first annual meeting for A RRCC WA (Australian Religious Response to Climate Change)!

We're also gearing up for some big events happening over the next few months. We'd love to see you at International Women's Day rally on Friday 6 March, and Social Justice Church will also have an International Women's Day theme on Saturday 8 March - stay tuned for more!

We'd also love for you to start spreading the word about this year's Palm Sunday Walk for Justice - make sure you invite all of your friends to the Facebook event, and get in touch if you'd like to be involved in making it happen!

For the sake of justice and peace,

Geoff and Kate.

The Uniting Church Synod of Western Australia acknowledges the Wadjuk people of the Noongar nation, on whose land our Synod office stands. We acknowledge their elders past and present, and their people.

At its 7th Assembly the Uniting Church formally entered into a relationship of Covenant with its Indigenous members, recognising and repenting for the Church’s complicity in the injustices perpetrated on Australia’s Indigenous community, and pledging to move forward with a shared future. Congress’ generous response to this statement, among other messages, called upon the broader Church to take up the mission of reconciliation.

The ongoing and continually renewing nature of the Covenant calls the Uniting Church to continually act to remove the systems and structures of discrimination and oppression in Australia.The Uniting Church works for just, inclusive and equal relationships, recognising the place of First Peoples in Australia.
