Caring, Connecting, Collaborating, and Communicating...
Caring requires connection. Connections create meaningful relationships. Healthy relationships invite trust. Relationships and trust form the foundation on which beloved community is created. Green Mountain Justice believes that positive change happens when our work prioritizes relationships that honor the interdependence of this radical plurality of creation. As our collaborations demonstrate, Green Mountain Justice is committed to caring and connecting across the full spectrum of our ministry. Caring also requires connections to accurate, actionable information about our community of communities. Here is some news and analysis to help you stay informed and enable you to join us and take action.
