Climate Activist, Tim DeChristopher, to Preach at First Unitarian, February 7th

Tim DeChristopher, the climate activist whose work to save public lands in Utah was featured in the film, Bidder 70, will be the guest preacher at First Unitarian at 11:ooAM on February 7th.  Mr. DeChristopher will preach “The Structural Evil of Prison”, sharing stories from his time in prison and reflections on the nature of evil

Tim DeChristopher, posing as Bidder 70, disrupted an illegitimate Bureau of Land Management oil and gas auction in December of 2008, by outbidding oil companies for parcels around Arches and Canyonlands National Parks in Utah. 

His actions and 21 month imprisonment earned him a national and international media presence, which he has used as a platform to spread the urgency of the climate crisis and the need for bold, confrontational action in order to create a just and healthy world. Tim used his prosecution as an opportunity to do organize the climate justice organization Peaceful Uprising in Salt Lake City, and most recently founded the Climate Disobedience Center. 

He continues the work to defend a livable future.
