SUMMARY:Driving PA Forward Day in the Capitol
DESCRIPTION:Join LAMPa and our partners in the Driving PA Forward Coalition in Harrisburg for a day of meetings with lawmakers to advocate for HB 769\, Driver’s Licenses for All. This bill would separate driver’s license eligibility from citizenship status\, as it was before 2003. Currently\, 15 states and Washington\, D.C.\, offer driver’s licenses to all\, regardless of immigration status. LAMPa has long been a part of the coalition to advance this policy for the wellbeing of our immigrant neighbors and the safety of all on Pennsylvania roadways. This legislation would help make our roads and communities are safer by enabling more drivers to be licensed and insured and is projected to have economic benefits to the Commonwealth as well. You can find more information and resources on this policy here. \nOn Nov.  14\, be a part of this gathering to show your concern for the livelihoods and safety of immigrants and recognize their \nApple pickers at work in Adams County. Come apple harvest time\, workers come to this area by the thousands. Nationwide\, an estimated 70\,000 workers pick apples every fall. \ncontribution to our communities — particularly our agricultural economy.  The event will feature a Thanksgiving table set in the Capitol Rotunda\, thanking farm workers and all who contribute to the feast day we celebrate\, but which many who provide the food cannot themselves enjoy.  Workers from throughout the food supply chain will speak to highlight the contributions of farm workers and immigrants in making the traditional holiday meal possible. \nLegislative visits will follow.  If you are able to attend\, please let us know\, and we’ll coordinate meetings as LAMPa with our coalition partners.  We expect to wrap up by early afternoon.  Email us with your address (to help us identify your lawmakers) at LAMPa@Llutheranadvocacypa.org with DRIVING in the subject line by Nov. 6.   \nIf you are unable to join us in the Capitol\, but would be like to be in touch with your lawmakers\, please drop us a note\, again\,  with your address\, at LAMPa@Llutheranadvocacypa.org and include DRIVING in the subject line. We will respond with more information. \nTo join our statewide network of advocates working to make Pennsylvania a state that stands for welcome\, please email us at LAMPa@Llutheranadvocacypa.org with IMMIGRATION in the subject line and staff will reach out to you.

SUMMARY:Beginning of the "Season of Creation"
DESCRIPTION:From Season of Creation’s “Invitation to Join Season of Creation 2022.” \nThe Season of Creation is the annual Christian celebration to listen and respond together to the cry of Creation: the ecumenical family around the world unites to pray and protect our common home\, the Oikos of God. The Season “Celebration” begins 1 September\, the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation\, and ends 4 October\, the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi\, the patron saint of ecology beloved by many Christian denominations. Following the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity\, we begin the Season of Creation “Preparation” to reach local leaders and call our communities to participate actively by raising awareness of the theme\, and how to respond to the cry of creation where the Lord calls us in our diverse contexts. \n2022 Theme \nThis year we will unite around the theme\, “Listen to the Voice of Creation.” During the COVID-19 pandemic\, many have become familiar with the concept of being muted in conversations. Many voices are muted in public discourse around climate change and the ethics of Earth-keeping. These are voices of those who suffer the impacts of climate change. These are voices of people who hold generational wisdom about how to live gratefully within the limits of the land. These are voices of a diminishing diversity of more-than-human species. It is the voice of the Earth. The 2022 Season of Creation theme raises awareness of our need to listen to the voice of creation. \nThe Psalmist declares\, “The heavens are telling the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims God’s handiwork. Day to day pours forth speech\, and night to night declares knowledge their voice is not heard; yet their voice goes out through all the Earth\, and their words to the end of the world.” (19: 1-4) Creation never ceases to proclaim\, but do we listen? During the Season of Creation\, our common prayer and action can help us listen for the voices of those who are silenced. In prayer we lament the individuals\, communities\, species\, and ecosystems who are lost\, and those whose livelihoods are threatened by habitat loss and climate change. In prayer we center the cry of the Earth and the cry of the poor. \nListening to the voice of creation offers members of the Christian family a rich entry point for interfaith and interdisciplinary dialogue and practice. By listening to the voice of all creation\, humans from all cultures and sectors of life can be joined in our vocation to care for our common home (oikos). May this 2022 Season of Creation renew our ecumenical unity! And may this season of prayer and action be a time to Listen to the Voice of Creation\, so that our lives in words and deeds proclaim good news for all the Earth!
