Creation Justice

Happy Earth Day! At EMO, we are working towards building resilient communities through advocacy, education, preparedness, and innovation. We see that our climate is changing and understand that it is our shared responsibility to work together as a community to build resilience for our common home. In less than one month, on Sunday May 17th, our Creation Justice team will host our annual Interfaith Earth Summit, to reflect and learn more about how together we can care for our planet and our communities.

We encourage you to follow our Creation Justice Page and sign up for their newsletter to learn more about the work they do all year!

EMO's Earth Summit is an opportunity for people of faith and goodwill to gather locally around a shared care for our neighbors and the environment we all depend on. Through Zoom, we will connect our statewide community.

This year's Earth Summit is an invitation to:

Re-Connect with people like you across Oregon who seek a safe, healthy, abundant, and beautiful world for all.
Re-Imagine your community, resilient and thriving with nature.
Re-New your commitment to action, and find your place in the movement.
