Jamaica Plain’s annual “WUTE” celebration of art, culture, and activism spotlights sustainability and social justice always featuring a vibrant parade with a costume twist for participants, such as this year’s jedis and dragons. Our booth featured “Born into Crisis, Building Solutions,” a Christian Science Monitor series on how the ‘climate generation’ born after 1989 is reshaping our understanding of work, culture, “progress,” human rights, and community.
Hosts (from left:) Sarah, Christa, Gretchen, Emily, (also Kendra, Victoria and Janell) had great conversations and gifted at least 100 Monitors to visitors.
Church member Joe Ninesling (VT) provided the wind-proof structure to secure blow-ups of climate series covers.
