Dear friends of Breakthrough Communities,
We invite you to be a part of three virtual events!
This season we have benefited from reconnecting with many old friends and new friends including Jacqui Patterson who is beginning a new venture with the Shirley Chisholm Legacy Project and visited the Earth Seed Farm in the SF Bay Area. (Kudos to Pandora Thomas and the cultural wisdom of the agroecology project.)
This year, the International Big History Association (IBHA) featured a hybrid conference based in Pune, India. Dr. Lucy Laffitte (President, IBHA) and Dr. Barry Rodrigue (Faculty, Symbiosis University) offered bold leadership. Val Lopez (Chief of the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band) and
Dr. Vijaya Nagarajan (Faculty, University of San Francisco) joined Paloma and Carl in our presentation entitled Liberating Big History: Decolonization, Environmental and Racial Justice.

History: The 1st Parliament of the World’s Religions, hosted at the historic World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago, brought together people of faith from around the world. Some like Anagārika Dharmapāla, A.G. Bonet-Maury, and Swami Vivekananda traveled for months and across continents to serve as representatives of their faiths, and many more journeyed over weeks, through countries, and across oceans to attend what would become the birthplace of the modern interfaith movement.
Now: The 8th Parliament of the World’s Religions, hosted for the first time virtually, will bring together people of faith from around the world in an instant. The virtual Parliament is a safe way to gather the world’s global interfaith movement and celebrate the enduring spirit and work of religious and spiritual communities striving toward a more just, peaceful, and sustainable world.
Join us: Our presentation is featured in the climate action track along with Dr. Vandana Shiva (Navdanya) and many other climate justice activists. We are thrilled to co-present with Brandon Holmes, who has been a member of the Gaia Leadership Academy at Earth House Center this past year, who brings a next-generation perspective.
