IPL is excited to offer you support in your efforts around Earth Day to engage your congregation in caring for Creation – our Sacred Earth!
Faith Climate Action Week, Interfaith Power & Light’s week to encourage nationwide action on climate is April 14-23, 2023. Faith Climate Action Week has equipped people like you to reach over two million people with more than 10,000 climate and Earth stewardship sermons and talks nationwide. We greatly appreciate your leadership on this critical issue.
We provide resources to help you preach, teach and take action on climate justice. Find worship resources, an organizer’s kit to help you make it the best week of the year for your congregation, a national Earth Day Prayer for all to pray along with, a film to screen for your congregation, and an advocacy opportunity.
Our theme this year, Living the Golden Rule: Just Transition to a clean energy economy examines our responsibility to transition to energy sources that safeguard our common home, and how our faiths call us to respond with just solutions for all.
Sign up here to be notified when the printed organizer’s kit becomes available for purchase in January 2023.
Share the exciting news of the transition to clean energy with your congregation with a series of short films called Current Revolution, that show the possibility of a just transition to a clean energy economy where the well-being of workers and frontline community members are prioritized.
There is also an opportunity to encourage Toyota to join other car makers in supporting clean cars using the enclosed postcards, in addition to an online advocacy petition starting in March.
