Sustaining All Life / United to End Racism (SAL/UER) was at NYC Climate Week from September 22 to September 26, with a great lineup of workshops.
The people attending were very engaged in listening exchanges and listening circles, with lots of great questions for us. There was a lot of interest in following up with learning the tools of SAL when they get home.
Sustaining All Life (SAL) and United to End Racism (UER) are international grassroots organizations
working to end the climate emergency within the context of ending all divisions among people. At Climate Week, SAL/UER presented the interactive workshops below that address barriers to resolving the climate emergency. Our events showed participants how to exchange effective listening to free themselves and others from the emotional and mental harm resulting from oppression, rising authoritarianism, and other hurtful experiences—harm that can interfere with thinking about and responding effectively to the climate crisis, ending racism, and sustaining our efforts over time.
All events were at 12 East 41st Street, 7th Floor, Manhattan, unless otherwise indicated. Below is the list of events we offered.
