SUMMARY:Opioid Settlement Funds Listening Session
DESCRIPTION:There is $2.2 billion coming into the state and counties over the next 10-18 years from the recent opioid settlements. These funds are to be used to expand Harm Reduction\, Recovery\, and Substance Use Disorder services. There is a long list of options and strategies for those in charge of the spending to choose from\, and some could potentially do more harm than good. We want to make sure these funds get used properly on strategies that have been proven to mitigate and decrease the amount of overdoses and overdose fatalities in our communities. \nWe recognize that the opioid crisis has impacted many residents in our communities\, and not just the ones struggling with the disorder. These are the people who know best what the community needs in order to decrease the overdose and overdose fatality rate. Their input needs to be included in the decision-making process when it comes to spending these funds. We are holding this listening session to support the county in collecting that input. \nIf you would like to learn more about the money coming into your community\, or share your thoughts and ideas on how you think the county should spend these funds\, please register below to join our Listening Session at Club Serenity in Charleroi on Thursday\, September 14th at 6pm. \nClick Here to Register!

SUMMARY:MAD FACTS Debrief & Healing Space
DESCRIPTION:For 5 years\, CCJ has been working with local families who have been impacted by rare childhood cancers. After making demands to Governor Wolf\, local families secured a promise in 2019 that the state would conduct studies observing the apparent increase in rare childhood cancers in Southwestern Pennsylvania. These folks have created a group called “MAD-FACTS: Moms and Dads – Family Awareness of Cancer Threat Spike.” \nThe University of Pittsburgh and the Pennsylvania Department of Health are holding a public meeting at PennWest California University on August 15th to release the findings of the PA Health and Environment Studies in Southwest Pennsylvania. These studies looked at the prevalence of rare childhood cancers\, asthma\, and low birth weights in proximity to fracking in Southwestern\, Pennsylvania. \nMAD-FACTS will be hosting a debrief healing space following the public meeting at the California Methodist Church to discuss the results and be with one another to process what we learn. There will be refreshments available.\n \nIf childcare\, transportation\, or financing is a barrier to you or someone you know to attend\, please let us know and we will accommodate you. \n \nClick Here to Register

All potato bags have already been claimed – if you are still interested\, please select to be added to the waiting list!  \nWe will have a Kids’ Activity\, so bring your little ones! They can learn the joys of starting seeds by planting fast-growing green beans. They can also paint their own terracotta pot to take their soon-to-sprout seeds home in! (available as long as supplies last – please pre register so we can get enough supplies for everyone to enjoy this fun activity and experiment!) \nIn addition\, we will have information available at the Seed Swap about the community cookbook we are creating. We would love it if you could contribute some of your favorite recipes! \nFinally\, some of our local partners from the Seed-to-Supper Program and Firefly Gardens will be at the Seed Swap to tell you about other fun opportunities coming up for those who love to garden at home or in the community. \nIf you aren’t able to make it to our Seed Swap but would like to contribute\, feel free to mail seeds to us at P.O.

SUMMARY:Pitt Health and Environment Study Public Meeting

SUMMARY:Stop The Dirty Deal Rally at the U.S. Capitol!
DESCRIPTION:Join CCJ (at no cost to you!) on a trip to D.C. on Thursday\, September 8th to ensure members of Congress pledge to block any efforts to dish out new fossil fuel handouts by weakening environmental protections. \nSenator Manchin and Senator Schumer made a dirty deal to gut environmental protection to pass the Inflation Reduction Act. No one has seen the details of bill yet but a one-page memo leaked of this Dirty Deal guts bedrock environmental protections and endangers public health\, fast tracks fossil fuels\, and pushes politicians’ pet projects. Senator Schumer could attach this legislation to a must-pass government spending bill in September\, so we must do everything we can to protect our rights to clean air and water. \nFor more information\, read the related blog by our Community Advocate Nina Victoria. \nThe bus will leave the Beau Street\, Washington\, PA Park and Ride around 7:00 AM on Thursday\, September 8th. There will be an additional stop in Waynesburg to pick up more people. We will arrive in DC around 11:30 AM and participate in the rally at the Capital that afternoon. CCJ will cover meals for those who participate. We will leave DC around 8 PM after the event and will be slated to be back in Washington\, PA around 12:30 AM. \nThis is a no-cost event\, but in order to know how many buses we will need\, you must register by September 6th. Please click here to register.
