The Social Justice Council meets on the first Thursday of the month at 7:30 pm, usually in the library. Meetings are open to all Cedar Laners. We occasionally change our meeting nights, so it’s a good idea to check with the co-chairs if you plan to join us.

Please click here
for a graphic representation of many of Cedar Lane's social justice activities.
On January 9 and 10, over 100 Cedar Laners gathered for a Social Justice Empowerment Workshop to explore the congregation's social justice history and the connection between social justice and spiritual values. Plans generated by the breakout groups on a range of issues are available. Click here.
Got a social justice idea? Feel some passion? Wonder if Cedar Lane can help you take action?
The Social Justice Council
(SJC) wants to foster and develop the passion for social justice action at Cedar
Lane. If you
have an insight or a concern, and you want to find out how to make
something happen or get involved with others who
share your passion, we want to
help you. We’re happy to brainstorm with you, help connect you with others, and
to
provide support getting you started and as you travel your journey.

Stay Informed: Sign up for
the Social Justice Bulletin
Cedar Laners are invited to share information about social justice events, meetings, programs and other opportunities on the Social Justice Bulletin. You can sign up by sending an email to socialjusticebulletin-subscribe@yahoogroups.com.
Any member of the listserv can post a message by sending it to socialjusticebulletin@yahoogroups.com. We ask those who do to follow these simple guidelines to avoid too much email traffic and make this an effective communication tool for all:
· Please post no more than one message per week per person (fewer if possible, as there are many people on the list). Be selective. People can only digest so much information.
· Consider combining messages with others working on the same issue. Perhaps your task force or committee would like to put out an occasional bulletin with a number of items on related topics.
If you would prefer not to receive each message as it is posted, you can sign up to receive:
· A daily digest--which will automatically consolidate all messages and deliver them in one email per day (click on the link at the bottom of a message to choose this option)
· No email--which will allow you to read the messages on the yahoogroups website at your convenience (email socialjusticebulletin-owner@yahoogroups.com and the moderators will make the change for you.)
You can remove yourself from the list at any time, by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any message from the list or by sending an email to socialjusticebulletin-owner@yahoogroups.com
