Like everything else at the moment\, it's going to be online. But that isn't going to stop them from making it huge.\nOf course\, this time it's different. This strike is taking place in a vastly changed world. Yet this only highlights the need for change ba sed on kindness and recognition of our obvious interconnectedness. We owe it to these young people to make sure that they are not left trying to cop e with something even worse than the current pandemic.\nThe message this t ime will be even more positive than ever. The day will focus not only on w hat needs to be stopped but also on an uplifting and positive vision of th e future.\nLet's make sure we show our support as people of faith for the school strikers and what they are calling for. There are a few things we c an do listed in this email.\nBut the number one thing that will make the m ost difference is to ask a few others in our own faith communities to get involved in whatever we choose to do. Even if we each only ask a couple of people\, this will make a huge difference.\nIf you take a minute to sign up on the website we will send you information on how to organise in your community easily and effectively. And by signing up it also helps us to kn ow who is doing what\, which is enormously helpful.\nOn the day of the str ike there will be multi faith nationwide online service to show that we ar e united in this time of extreme adversity in the spirit of love\, reveren ce and compassion. We will show our support as people of faith for these a mazing young people as clearly and publicly as we can.\nAll of our faith t raditions tell us that we must live up to the moral challenge of protectin g our only home. There will be time for prayer and reflection and connecti ng with our deepest values. At the end of the service there will be a call to act on these values in practical terms. It will be open to people of a ll faiths and none.\nThis service will be held via Zoom and also live stre amed on social media. So\, you’ll be able to participate from home.\nAskin g people in your congregation to be there\nThere are three ways to do this . You can choose the one that suits you.\nOn Zoom - please use this option if you can.\nPlease use this link: https://zoom.us/j/93368937522\nOr join the Zoom call by phone on any of the following numbers:08 6119 390008 715 0 114902 8015 601103 7018 200507 3185 3730\nMeeting ID: 933 6893 7522\nWat ch live on the ARRCC Facebook page.\nWatch live on the ARRCC YouTube chann el.Even though we may not be able to come together at our places of worshi p\, we are each still part of a faith community. Let’s act together. If we as people of faith around the country asked just a few friends from our o wn congregations to participate\, we can make this thing huge.\nPlease sig n up on the ARRCC website to register your interest in getting a few frien ds from your faith community to come with you.\nSupporting the strike on s ocial mediaThere's a very simple thing we can all do with build momentum f or the strike over the next three weeks: ask people in your congregation t o take a photo of themselves holding up a hand-held sign in support of the school strikers and posting this on social media.\nPlease ask people you know to wear something that identifies them as a person of faith - a praye r cap\, a crucifix\, mala beads or a kippah. If you’re talking to a religi ous leader\, please ask them to wear formal religious attire. It can also help to take the photo standing or sitting next to something religious- si tting on a prayer mat or in meditation posture\, standing next to an image or painting that is part of your faith tradition in some way\nEach sign s hould communicate support for climate action. The exact wording is up to e ach person. Ideally it should include a strong message that references one of the climate strikers’ key demands. These demands are widely supported by ARRCC and other groups working on climate change:\nNo new fossil fuel p rojects\, including the Adani coal mine100% renewable energy by 2030A just transition and job creation for all fossil fuel workers and communitiesPl ease post using the hashtag #SignsOfFaith https://faithvictoria.org.au/upc oming-events/event/1689-multifaith-service-for-the-climate-arrcc DTSTART:20200515T100000Z DTEND:20200515T113000Z LOCATION:Melbourne\, VIC 3000 (Melbourne VIC\, Australia) SUMMARY:Multifaith Service for the climate: ARRCC URL:https://faithvictoria.org.au/upcoming-events/event/1689-multifaith-serv ice-for-the-climate-arrcc END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
