Thom Hartman (Saturday, 3:00–4:25 pm – Portland Ballroom) – Corpo- rations are not People and Money is not Speech was the 2013 Action of Im- mediate Witness sponsored by UUJEC. Renowned radio and TV host Thom Hartman will describe his new book The Crash of 2016, focusing on strategy to challenge corporate power and privilege. UUs from around the nation will share their Move-to-Amend accomplishments. Hear about the actions of the growing Interfaith Caucus to reclaim our democracy. Learn how we can defy plutocratic abuse of power from Wall Street to the Supreme Court.

David Korten (Friday, 3:00–4:15 pm and 4:45-6:00 pm, Portland Ball- room double session) Long time UU friend and visionary David Korten will first introduce this new book Change the Story, Change the Future. Second he’ll announce the launch of the 20th anniversary edition of his groundbreaking book When Corporations Rule the World. David’s new book tasks us to a deep cultural rethinking and institution rebuilding around a Sacred Life and Living Earth story instead of the Sacred Money and Markets story. His all-too-prophetic original book now tasks us to craft a new global order and common identity that for delivers justice for all, not riches for the few. Cornel West, author of Black Prophetic Fire (Ware Lecture, Sat, 8 pm) Workshops on Escalating Inequality UUJEC at the GA Has your congregation done any study or actions to challenge Escalating Inequality, the 2014 CSAI developed by UUJEC? If so, let us know (http://uujec.com/contactUs) so we can spread the word. If not, visit our website http://uujec.com/csaiCurriculum for ideas. The UUJEC curriculum digs deep into the historical dynamics of economic inequality and the trail-by-fire we face in the 21st century. Read the Curriculum Summary and forward it to your friends and congregants to stimulate “outside the box” thinking and discussion. Check out the TED talks, the Annotated References, and other options. Consult with us.

Intrigued? Then stop by our GA booth and take a flier on our CSAI work, annual meeting, ac- tions of immediate witness, and challenge to the UUA to find more resources to confront sys- temic injustice in a world reaching harsh limits-to-growth.
