We have sad news to share. The Center for Ethical Living and Social Justice Renewal (CELSJR), one of our affiliated camps and conference centers, has made the difficult decision to close their doors after 14 years serving the greater New Orleans community. Initially CELSJR was created to help those must vulnerable after hurricane Katrina by hosting volunteer rebuilding groups and leading service projects. Over time CELSJR found another niche and began to morph into an organization who brought transformational, anti-oppressive learning opportunities to their community. The program quickly grew and CELSJR began attracting folks from all over to learn and take part in political action workshops.
But as the rebuilding work after Katrina winded down – so did the steady stream of volunteers staying at CELSJR which greatly effected their financial stability. Despite efforts to continue with more workshops and programs, the financial resources were no longer there to support CELSJR's work.
CELSJR needs your help now more than ever as they work to close down the organization by November 30th. The staff have been working with out pay since August and the organization has debt that needs to be resolved. Please help CELSJR and donate the “Burn our Debt” campaign” and stay tuned for updates in the coming months.
