Novasutras #RiseForClimate on Saturday

ByMichelle Y. Merrill, Ph.D.
In two days, on Saturday September 8th, we will #RiseForClimate.  If you can join a local event near you, be sure to RSVP at riseforclimate.org.
If you’re in California, the organizers are asking everyone to find a way to come to the main event in San Francisco. Text “riseca” to 83224 to get live updates. Please also contact us if you want to connect with the Novasutras community in San Francisco.  I will be Calling the Corners at 10:45 – look for these signs (feel free to copy these if you like):

 

 

Even you can’t join a local event, you can still support the RISE mobilization by joining in two beautiful Rise “Moments of Solidarity” at 11am and 2pm PDT (1800 & 2100 UTC) – see
below for directions. Alternatively, you can chose those times to meditate on agaya and ubuntu, extending loving-kindness to all beings who have suffered and those will suffer the worst through the climate crisis.

They’ve also assembled a wonderful songbook for the mobilization.

Please share on social media and talk to your friends about RISE.

Ubuntu and Agaya!
