Every Wednesday until January 7 Guardians of the Sacred will be dedicated to the protection of Oak Flat. Oak Flat, Chi’chil Biłdagoteel, is a sacred site for the Western Apache people in Arizona. It is currently in grave danger of being turned over to an international copper mining company.

Join us for an evening of learning, reflection, and action. We’ll briefly share about the Make Polluters Pay campaign — why it matters, and how people of faith can help pass this historic legislation in 2026. Then, we’ll hear from faith and advocacy leaders about how our shared values of justice, compassion, and stewardship call us to act — and how your congregation can make a difference.

We invite you not just to talk about the future, but to join us there. We will spend the day dreaming, drawing, drafting delightful designs, and discussing the dramatic distance between our present world and the near future we will be visiting. You can expect the workshop to be active, fun, and engaging—it’s part reflection, part visioning, part theater game, part grief, and part radical hope.
