Last year, we organized over 500 grassroots actions across 43 countries. People of diverse religions rose from their pews, prayer rugs, and meditation cushions worldwide. We went to government offices and financial institutions, calling for change.

Now, it's time to gear up again. We're organizing Faiths 4 Climate Justice to take place less than a month before this year's G20 and COP27 meetings. These two governmental meetings bring together leaders worldwide to make decisions and formal agreements that impact us all, from the economy and trade to climate change. We want to send a loud message before leaders from every country gather to decide the fate of our planet. It's time to start planning now.

History is clear: transformational change happens when large numbers of people mobilize peacefully and persistently. People of faith have always been key players in these social movements. Let's honor this history and protect the sacredness of our planet and its people.

In faith and solidarity,
