Bloom in the Desert Ministries is a United Church of Christ and Reconciling Ministries congregation that celebrates diversity, friendship and service. The fundraising ensures continuing ministries among houseless, working poor, underprivileged school children, valley musicians, LGBT activists, seniors, and peace and justice advocates. The “Bloom in the Desert Ministries Community Justice Award” is awarded to Mr. Tracy Mark Turner as the first recipient. Tracy has been a collaborator with Bloom on many peace and justice actions for more than a decade. Most notably was his being a member of the interfaith coalition that worked with Palm Springs city leaders to bring an International Peace Pole to the downtown Village Green. In the past few years, the church and Tracy collaborated with others on marriage equality rallies and demonstrations that Bloom helped sponsor. During the past decade, Tracy also joined Bloom’s leadership in peace, fair labor, healthcare advocacy, Veterans for Peace and comprehensive immigration reform dialogues, marches, vigils, and protests. Bloom’s pastor, Rev. Kevin A Johnson says, “We know when we show up at a vigil, rally or march, if Tracy is there, we are in the right place.” While he is not a covenanting member of Bloom in the Desert Ministries UCC (Tracy identifies most closely with the Buddhist faith), because of his participation and leadership Bloom considers him a community partner in peace and justice ministries. Tracy was a 2004 early retiree after 25 years with Pacific Bell, now AT&T, in the Bay Area, relocating to Palm Springs at that time. He was born and raised in Wyoming. He moved to San Francisco as a young man and made his career there in the customer service field. Tracey says he “always had a penchant for peace and justice concerns.” He was influenced by his mother’s side of the family, saying, “They were labor people.” While in San Francisco, Tracy was active as a member of the Communication Workers of America union, Local 9410. The “Bloom in the Desert Ministries Community Justice Award” has three main qualifications: 1. To recognize the value and actions of a person working diligently for peace and justice in the Coachella Valley community. This is in alignment with Bloom’s mission statement, which includes the statement: “We agitate for God’s peace and justice in our community and around the world.” 50 2. The person needs to have a relatively wide range of ongoing experience in peace and justice activism. 3. The person has done peace and justice work for several years without significant personal recognition.
