About Us
|
The Community for Earth (CFE) is a social justice group at First Unitarian Church, Portland. CFE was formed decades ago and continues to evolve our strategies and understanding of climate justice. We invite congregants to join us in building a resilient community working to address climate injustice. . CFE members meet on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month, usually before worship services. The 2nd Sunday session is a business meeting, while we have deeper explorations of issues or renewal sessions on the 4th Sunday. All are welcome to these sessions: request a link. |
