Public Lands

Picture

And God said, “Let the waters under the sky be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear. Let the earth put forth vegetation: plants yielding seed, and fruit trees of every kind on earth that bear fruit with the seed in it." The earth brought forth vegetation: plants yielding seed of every kind, and trees of every kind bearing fruit with the seed in it. And God saw that it was good.
​–Genesis 1:9–12 NRSV

Why do we work on public lands issues?

Our lands face ever-changing threats that call us to take action, theologically and politically, on conserving and restoring land. Issues like agricultural abuse, urban sprawl, and extraction prioritize consumption and capitalism over healthy, thriving creation. Lack of indigenous sovereignty over lands, due to the genocide and forced removal of indigenous peoples from their native lands in the US, means that there is often a discontinuation of the indigenous wisdom of how to live on and care for the land. The racist destruction and suppression of this knowledge prevents us from living in thriving harmony with creation. This is why we, as Christians, are called to pivot and to act for the preservation of public lands.

Campaign to Save Oak Flat, Apache Sacred Site
Picture

Beautiful Oak Flat, an Apache sacred site in Arizona, is threatened by the construction of a copper mine by multinational corporation Rio Tinto.
In addition to the destruction of a several-thousand-year-old sacred site, the building of a copper mine on this site would threaten unique and endangered species.
