Standing in Solidarity with the Duwamish

East Shore Unitarian Church 12700 SE 32nd Street, Bellevue, WA, United States

How can we practice love, explore spirituality, build community and promote justice? Allyship combines all four elements of our mission. This service is dedicated to exploring what allyship requires of us in practice. Come learn about the Duwamish Solidarity Group (DSG), a non-native group of volunteers who support the Duwamish tribe in a spirit of reconciliation and justice. East Shore has invited members of the DSG Outreach group to speak at our service that morning. Immediately after the service, enjoy coffee and snacks together with them as we explore how we might stand in solidarity with the Duwamish.

Meaningful Movies Bellevue: Reflection – A Walk with Water

Online Event

Join Meaningful Movies Bellevue for Reflection – A Walk with Water, a 2022 release from Bullfrog Films. Filmmaker Emmett Brennan walks the length of the Los Angeles aqueduct in search of a vision for humanity worth living for - what he discovers has everything to do with water. The conditions that make life possible are rapidly changing. Reckoning with this reality on the cusp of a record-setting dry season, filmmaker Emmett Brennan embarks on a powerful journey to find stories of hope and healing. Reflection – A Walk with Water will be followed immediately with a discussion about issues the film brings up.

East Shore Reads: Serviceberry

Online Event

Earth & Climate Action Ministry (ECAM) and the Indigenous Connections Team invite you to a two-part discussion of Robin Wall Kimmerer’s new book, The Serviceberry. Kimmerer takes the wisdom of Braiding Sweetgrass a step further and asks how we can reimagine our economic systems by incorporating a philosophy of abundance, reciprocity, and balance. The Serviceberry is an invitation to shift our thinking: What does it mean to live in a gift economy? How can indigenous wisdom and ecological systems inform us?
