SUMMARY:10th Anniversary Celebration of Laudato Si'
DESCRIPTION:A Celebration of the Casa’s Care for our Common Home \n\n10th Anniversary Celebration of Laudato Si’\nMay 2025 marks the 10th anniversary of the groundbreaking encyclical by Pope Francis – Laudato Si’: Care for Our Common Home. Pope Francis drew from St. Francis’ deep spiritual connection with creation when crafting his message. This spirituality is expressed best in his famous poem Canticle of the Creatures\, written 800 years ago\, where it states that we are brothers and sisters with all of God’s creation. \nIn the past decade\, the Casa community has aimed to foster a deeper respect for creation\, promote sustainable habits\, and to deepen our commitment to a lifestyle that respects the Creator’s handiwork. We invite all to join the celebration where we will recognize our community’s past accomplishments and inspire all to continue this work. \nOur celebration will include (but not limited to): \n– Blessing of New Solar Panels \n– Commemorative Dinner and Fellowship \n– Special Program for small children and pre-teens \n– Laudato Si’ Prayer and Presentation \n– Acknowledgment of Accomplishments \n– Next Steps \nFee:  $35 per person.  Pre-registration required. \nPlease email Donna Kinzie at donna-at-thecasa-dot-org for info on family rate.

SUMMARY:Love the Mother: Mothers' Day Rally for Oak Flat
DESCRIPTION:Oak Flat (Chi’chil Biłdagoteel)\, a sacred site for the Apache people and other Indigenous nations\, is once again under urgent threat. The federal government has moved forward with steps that could allow the land to be transferred to a foreign mining company\, despite ongoing legal challenges. As Apache Stronghold seeks a court injunction to stop the transfer https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/local/arizona-environment/2025/05/05/federal-court-to-hear-plea-to-halt-a-land-swap-for-oak-flt-copper-mine/83371238007/ \, Apache Stronghold calls on faith communities to show up in prayer\, solidarity\, and action.  \nJoin Apache Stronghold this Mother’s Day to honor Mother Earth and all life-givers—and to stand for the protection of Oak Flat. This gathering will be a powerful space of remembrance\, resistance\, and renewal through prayer\, art\, and community.  \nVISIT SAVE OAK FLAT FACEBOOK PAGE FOR UPDATES https://www.facebook.com/SaveOakFlatArizona

SUMMARY:Direct Pay (Solar $ to Faith Communities) – Office Hours with CPC & L4GG
DESCRIPTION:Heejin Hahn with the CPC (Congressional Progressive Caucus Center) spoke to the AZIPL Solar Action Team in December.  At that time she mentioned their Direct Pay Office Hours.  During the CPC Office Hours\, they bring in L4GG (Lawyers for Good Government) to answer questions about direct pay.\n\nThe next session is June 8\, 10:00 a.m. (AZ time).  Here is the registration link\, with more information and sign-ups for the following session:  June 12\, 2025 at 10:00 AM\n\nAdditional Resources are available from AZIPL staff upon request.  The information below is from the registration site and includes links that might be of particular assistance.\n**********************\n\n\n\nThank you for your interest in Direct Pay! We invite you to join our upcoming office hour session and bring your questions about Direct Pay. Our team will provide answers and relevant resources where we can. This is a space for CBOs\, local/state/Tribal governments\, schools\, houses of worship\, nonprofits\, and anyone else interested in learning about Direct Pay to share their clean energy project plans\, raise clarifying questions\, and talk through their roadblocks or concerns. All project stages are welcome! You do not need a concrete project plan to join. Please register below to attend.\n\nWe welcome everyone but do recommend that those who are new to Direct Pay check out this page on 101 level resources (https://www.lawyersforgoodgovernment.org/direct-pay-101).\nWe also encourage clicking through the L4GG Clean Energy Tax Navigator (https://cleanenergytaxnavigator.org/) and thinking about what questions you still have about Direct Pay before joining the session. This will help ensure that we use our session time most effectively.\n\nPlease note that while these monthly sessions generally occur around the same time of the month on Thursdays at 1:00pm ET\, we may shift a session depending on holidays or other events that month. Registering and adding zoom calendar automation will help ensure that you receive updates on any time changes.

The Court has not yet decided whether to hear the case.  \nOn April 24\, 2025\, Apache Stronghold requested that the district court in AZ grant “a narrow\, temporary injunction prohibiting Federal Defendants from transferring Oak Flat… during the pendency of Apache Stronghold’s Supreme Court appeal.” A hearing date for this request is set for May 7\, 2025 in Phoenix at 9:30AM. \nLeading up to the hearing\, Apache Stronghold is holding a Prayer Run & March from Sunday May 4 – Wed.

SUMMARY:Hydrating Human Rights - In the Company of Stewards (LDS & Friends)
DESCRIPTION:Hydrating Human Rights \nVirtually every human rights challenge facing humanity as an underappreciated connection to water policy\, including mass migration\, racism\, gender inequality\, climate change\, armed conflict\, and pandemics. Focusing on water security as a principal public policy aim can therefore have broad impacts across all areas of human rights. On April 15\, Dr. Rhett Larson will discuss how water connects each of these areas\, and the potential risks and benefits of recognizing a human right to water. \n\nMeet our presenter: \nRhett Larson is the Richard Morrison Professor of Water Law at Arizona State University’s Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law. He is also a senior research fellow with the Kyl Center for Water Policy at ASU’s Morrison Institute for Public Policy. Professor Larson’s research and teaching interests are in property law\, environmental law\, and natural resource law\, in particular\, domestic and international water law and policy. He serves on the Arizona Mexico Commission Board of Directors\, Arizona’s Water Infrastructure Finance Authority\, and is legal counsel to the Arizona Municipal Water Users Association. He leads a project to improve water supplies for refugee host communities in Lebanon and Jordan. Professor Larson was a visiting professor and Fulbright Scholar at the Pontifical Catholic University of Ecuador\, a PLuS Alliance visiting fellow with the University of New South Wales in Sydney\, Australia\, and a Lady Davis Fellow and visiting professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He is the author of Just Add Water: Solving the World’s Problems Using its Most Precious Resource (Oxford University Press\, 2020)\, and his forthcoming book from Cambridge University Press is Day Zero: How Cities Run Out of Water.

SUMMARY:Direct Pay (Solar $ to Faith Communities) - Office Hours with CPC & L4GG

All project stages are welcome! You do not need a concrete project plan to join.
