For this week's #SocialJusticeSunday we'll be hono

For this week's #SocialJusticeSunday we'll be honoring A. Philip Randolph. He "a trailblazing leader, organizer and social activist who championed equitable labor rights for African American communities during the 20th century.

A. Philip Randolph was a labor leader and social activist. During World War I, Randolph tried to unionize African American shipyard workers and elevator operators, and co-launched a magazine designed to encourage demand for higher wages. He later founded the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, which by 1937 would become the first official African American labor union. In the 1940s, Randolph's abilities as an organizer had grown to such lengths that he became the driving force in ending racial discrimination in government defense factories and desegregating the armed forces, both done via presidential decree. Becoming involved in additional civil rights work, he was a principal organizer of the 1963 March on Washington.

Suffering from a heart condition and high blood pressure, Randolph resigned from his more than 40-year tenure as president of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters in 1968. He also retired from public life. After being mugged by three assailants, he moved from Harlem to New York City's Chelsea neighborhood. Never having been one to be concerned with material acquisitions or the ownership of property, Randolph spent the next few years writing his autobiography until his health worsened, forcing him to stop.

Randolph died in bed at his New York City home on May 16, 1979, at age 90. He was cremated, and his ashes were interred at the A. Philip Randolph Institute in Washington, D.C." (Source: https://www.biography.com/activist/a-philip-randolph)

Welcome back to #SustainableSaturday! Over the nex

Welcome back to #SustainableSaturday! Over the next few weeks we'll be sharing tips and tricks on how to be more sustainable while you're potentially stuck at home. This week we're going to focus on energy usage.

With everyone spending more time at home, as well as it getting hotter outside, houses are using more energy. Some easy ways to cut your energy consumption include:

* Opting to use natural light to light the your home during the day.

* Unplugging "vampire appliances" such as television, computers, DVD players and more, when they are not in use. (for more examples: https://blog.homestars.com/common-phantom-energy-appliances/)

*Turn off the lights every time you use a room or if you're forgetful switch to having lights with a timer on them.

*Set cooling and heating temperatures correctly, both on your thermostat and refrigerator.

"Fridges do their job at around 37 F. Freezers set at -3 F keep things nice and frosty."

"In the winter, set your thermostat at 68 F in the day and 55 F at night. In the summer, keep it at 78 F. Water heaters work most efficiently between 120 and 140 F."

Can you think of more ways you can cut your energy consumption?

Two weeks ago, our event was waylaid by racist violence. With new security measures in place, we invite you to join your friends in faith for a rescheduled sunrise-to-sunset day of prayer.

We will share practices from our traditions that invite reflection on our own complicity in white supremacy and racism, meaningful action we can take in the present, and hope for an antiracist future.
Tune in when you can, or camp out in front of your screen and pray all day!
