Join the Time for Living the Change Community Call!

What do Bruno, Sabrina, Susan and Gustavo Adolfo have in common? Together with over 500 people of faith and spirit around the world, they are participating in Time for Living the Change, our initiative to take public leadership for climate justice with our own lives.

Will you join the special call for the Americas and Oceania
next Monday, 24 Jan / Tuesday, 25 Jan?

We want to be clear: changing our personal consumption habits is part of building cultural momentum for systemic change. Gandhi taught that we must “be the change that you wish to see in the world.” That’s what this work is about.

The resolutions of committed people are a source of hope, joy, and strength:

  • Bruno, a Christian from Belgium, wrote: “I will let go of my car and seize this opportunity to live with more intensity at the local level.”
  • Sabrina, a Muslim from Pakistan, wrote: “I commit to eating meat only once a week.”
  • Susan, an interfaith person from the US, wrote: “I commit to switch to the Electricity Supplier here that offers 50% more local renewable energy REC’s. It costs a tiny bit more but helps the collective effort.”
  • And Gustavo Adolfo, from Colombia, wrote: “My resolution is to work with my community to recycle.”
Through Living the Change, we are creating an anticipatory community, a community that prefigures the world we want to see. Join us!

The time of next week’s call has been specifically chosen to offer the best possible conditions for people in the Americas and in Oceania to participate.

We’ll hear more inspiring testimonies and meet one another in small groups to share about our faith and action for climate justice. It will be a short and sweet 60-minute call in 2 languages (English and Spanish).

SIGN ME UP!

We know there’s nothing more supportive than walking the path of change together with others. That’s why we have been holding weekly calls on Mondays -- they have proven a great opportunity to get to know the initiative and share deep, intimate conversations.

We’re eager to meet you in person!

In faith,

Martin, Caroline, Tamara, Rianne, and the Living the Change team.
