Orange County for Climate Action (OCCA) was co-founded by Living Ubuntu and United Nations Association OC. It is an alliance of Orange County organizations to address the problem of climate change and how it affects individuals, organizations and our community.
Join us to learn more about Living Ubuntu & OCCA, and to participate in a fun Earth Day celebration. We don't need any volunteers for the event, but we would love to meet you and connect!
Event description: Come together to honor the planet we call home. We have a full day of fun and inspirational activities planned -- join us for one, some, or all in celebration of Earth Day. Take actionable steps toward a healthier planet as we reconnect to ourselves, each other, and the community. Be engaged. Be inspired. Be connected.

Mission Statement
Living Ubuntu is a non-profit organization with a focus on mind-body issues, specifically health and well-being, and the effects of stress, trauma and compassion fatigue. We seek to increase awareness of the global and local impact of these issues, build a sense of community, and encourage living a more fully embodied life.
Description
One of our biggest projects is providing trauma recovery to vulnerable communities, like refugees, immigrants, and survivors of domestic violence. We primarily work in Orange County and San Diego. Our name is representative of the philosophy eloquently described by Desmond Tutu in recognition that "a person is a person through other persons," "my humanity is... inextricably bound up in what is yours," and "what dehumanizes you inexorably dehumanizes me." Just as "Ubuntu" describes our inter-connectedness, Living Ubuntu seeks to support the common good while also addressing factors that detract from that.
