In just the past three years, we’ve seen two examples of true urgency in our public life: the COVID response and defending Ukraine. Business as usual was suspended. World governments were on board and taking action. Massive resources were deployed. That’s what happens in a true emergency.
But that’s not what we’re seeing with the climate emergency.
Governments, financial institutions, and corporations make pledges for 10 or 20 years in the future, hoping to impress voters and their customers. Usually, these pledges are intentionally weak, vague or unenforceable. They keep falling short of what’s needed. It fills me with outrage. But GreenFaith’s work fills me with hope.
So while leaders delay, GreenFaith is leading the way. We’re bringing more and more people of faith into public action - the only way systemic change has ever happened.
How?
We engage people of faith through our organizing and campaigning trainings. We enable faith communities to increase the number of religious people involved in climate activism.
We educate grassroots faith leaders through our GreenFaith Circles, providing them with the talking points, skills, and tools necessary to get into action.
We organize public, faith-rooted actions globally against fossil fuel and deforestation projects and related financial institutions, and supporting green jobs and a just transition.
A donation to GreenFaith today will help us reach and train more religious leaders and laypeople to become active and demand climate solutions.
With your support, Rev., we can achieve our ambitious campaign plans in 2023 to stop fossil fuel projects and shift funding to renewable energy projects.
World leaders will only treat the climate emergency like a true emergency when the moral alarm we raise becomes impossible to ignore. We will keep sounding the alarm until justice is real.
Thanks for lending your voice and your support! We truly can’t do this without you.
Anna Wagner
Global Co-Director of Organizing
