IRTF initiated our annual Social Justice Teach-In (aka Liberation Lab) in 1999. This spring we feel a great need to call together justice-minded folks who are committed to human rights, liberation, and respect and dignity for all people.
Every year for the past 26 years, this event has been an informative and inter-generational day of community building and education for high school and college students and other community members seeking ways to take positive action for social justice.

Why a tree march? Our country and planet are facing dire challenges. As we mark the anniversary of the assassination of the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. (April 4, 1968), we are reminded of the “triplets of evil” that he so aptly identified: racism, poverty, and war. Today, the successors of MLK’s campaigns to overcome these entrenched systems of injustice have rightfully added ecological destruction to the list. As we approach Tax Day (April 15), we admit our complicity in supporting the $1.5 trillion US war budget that fuels the US military—the largest institutional emitter of greenhouse gases on the planet. MLK warned that our nation—spending many times more on the military than on programs of social uplift—is approaching spiritual death.
Planting a tree is an act of hope. With each step forward on April 11, we’ll say YES to life and NO to death. YES to trees and NO to war. With our trees we are investing in a future liberated from the evils of racism, extreme materialism, militarism, and environmental degradation. We are taking a concrete step toward climate restoration. We are planting our vision for the future.
Join us in Geauga County for focused training on immigrant rights, realities, and community defense. This event is co-hosted by: the InterReligious Task Force On Central America, Chagrin Falls Federated Church, Community Life Collaborative, Bainbridge UCC, Community Church of Chesterland, Red Wine and Blue members, and concerned residents of Geauga County. Together, we’ll look closely at how U.S. policies affect communities facing violence, displacement, and environmental harm.

Historian Kellie Carter Jackson’s lecture, We Refuse, challenges the narrow framing of Black resistance as either peaceful protest or armed revolt. Drawing on the overlooked leadership of Black women, she explores how force, joy, and moral courage have all been vital tools in confronting white supremacy and shaping the pursuit of freedom and justice.
