Sojourners

Sojourners is a group/magazine/newsletter that welcomes people of all backgrounds and religions to use their faith as a call to action in many areas including the environment, fair trade, war, genocide, racial discrimination, womens rights, poverty, immigration reform, etc.

They provide petitions to sign (online), letters you can write (or just sign via email) regarding issues that are important to you.

I think you can subscribe to their online magazine for free. www.sojo.net

factoid:
Sojourner Truth

c.1797—1883, American abolitionist, a freed slave, originally called Isabella, b. Ulster co., N.Y. Convinced that she heard heavenly voices, she left (1843) domestic employment in New York City, adopted the name Sojourner Truth, and traveled throughout the North preaching emancipation and women's rights. A remarkable personality, she spoke with much effectiveness even though she remained illiterate.

Welcome Visitors!

If you're reading for the first time, it may feel a bit like you've just walked into a conversation that has been going on for awhile.

So to catch you up...

Jennifer started this blog because she was going through the process of becoming more conscious of her lifestyle choices and had decided to "go green". As she talked to her friends she quickly realized that she was not the only one interested in making changes. The blog was born. We used this as a place to discuss things we've tried and to support each other in the journey.
