For 50 years, RCNV has helped build a just & peaceful world. This annual reading tradition reminds us that love is an antidote to war.
This Earth Day, we gather to spotlight the U.S. military’s impact on fragile ecosystems — and to launch our Santa Cruz United in Love series, cultivating Beloved Community, shared learning, and solidarity.
The first Earth Day (April 22, 1970) grew from 1960s anti-war teach-ins and grassroots activism linking pollution to public health, especially in marginalized communities. We honor that legacy.
Everyone welcome! RSVP’s at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/198763834379 are helpful.
