DURHAM WALKS FOR OUR PLANET


Picture
As the world’s leaders meet at the COP26 Climate Summit in Glasgow, Scotland, here in Durham, we are bringing people together to express local support for decisive and urgent action on climate issues.   
 
The event is scheduled for Thursday, November 4, from 4 pm to 5 pm. It will begin at Immaculate Conception Church, 810 W. Chapel Hill St. in Durham (on the lawn next to the statue of Mary, facing Chapel Hill street). It will conclude at St. Joseph Episcopal Church, 
1902 W. Main St. Durham NC, 27705 (behind Whole Foods). 
 
At 4 pm, we will show a short, live-video message from Glasgow from Br. Angelito Cortez, OFM. Originally from the Philippines, he now serves as a co-director of the Franciscan JPIC Office in Rome. Franciscan International has an NGO status at the UN, and Br. Cortez will be in Scotland as an advocate for the poor, marginalized and the earth. 
 
We will also hear a short message from Brian Murray, Interim Director at the Nicholas Institute & Duke University Energy Initiative.  
 
Before starting the walk toward Duke’s East campus, we will hear from a few children and youth speaking about why they participate in the Durham Walks for our Planet. 

Please bring posters, banners, and/or small, self-made wind turbines. We are making a special effort to reach out to families with children, and to the youth, inviting them to join us. 
 
We’ll be sending a press release and so anticipate having a robust presence of the local press. It’s a great opportunity to lift up the moral and ethical call for climate justice. 
 
Since we are still dealing with the pandemic, as we march, we are asking people to keep a safe-distance and wear facemasks. We will conclude in prayer at the side of St. Joseph Episcopal Church, located at 1902 W. Main St. Durham (right behind the Whole Foods). 
And here are a few links to the topic of climate justice:

  • Catholic Hunger Striker calls on Biden and Democrats
  • Young man from St. Camilus parish on Hunger Strike
  • Laudato Si' Integral Ecology
  • Pope urges 'radical' climate response
