However, for an organization like mine that holds (sometimes tenuously) a network of different Christian traditions, I worry about losing credibility with some of them depending on the nature of direct action. I'm not worried about ALL direct action (Jesus did it a lot ;) ), I just want to ensure that the way we engage in direct action is generative. https://padlet.com/khandassociates/r91u7shz96lse8ey/wish/2307023273 2022-09-21 14:56:18 UTC https://padlet.com/khandassociates/r91u7shz96lse8ey/wish/2307023273 Considering the reach and size of USCAN, this would be a great addition to programs and activities. USCAN needs to ensure that frontline climate leaders and organizers are spearheading this and that whatever space this is developed in includes the voices of young people. https://padlet.com/khandassociates/r91u7shz96lse8ey/wish/2307023282 2022-09-21 14:56:19 UTC https://padlet.com/khandassociates/r91u7shz96lse8ey/wish/2307023282 Dedication as a network to JEDI principles https://padlet.com/khandassociates/r91u7shz96lse8ey/wish/2307023713 2022-09-21 14:56:34 UTC https://padlet.com/khandassociates/r91u7shz96lse8ey/wish/2307023713 Inclusive and equitable decision-making with the caveat that decisions can be slow to make. https://padlet.com/khandassociates/r91u7shz96lse8ey/wish/2307025165 2022-09-21 14:57:15 UTC https://padlet.com/khandassociates/r91u7shz96lse8ey/wish/2307025165 The IRA and responses to it revealed to me a strength of USCAN: there are a lot of groups with a lot of different theories of change. I think there was some USCAN response to IRA that aimed to find alignment in all groups, which I find foolhardy. Some groups will support moderate measures like IRA and some will not. That's healthy for a movement, and the work needed is to feed and care for a movement that can hold space for both. https://padlet.com/khandassociates/r91u7shz96lse8ey/wish/2307026365 2022-09-21 14:57:52 UTC https://padlet.com/khandassociates/r91u7shz96lse8ey/wish/2307026365 Member alignment grants! Super helpful for...alignment between members. https://padlet.com/khandassociates/r91u7shz96lse8ey/wish/2307027375 2022-09-21 14:58:24 UTC https://padlet.com/khandassociates/r91u7shz96lse8ey/wish/2307027375
