I am writing to share the exciting news that we only have about $3,000 left to reach Creation Justice Ministries’ end-of-year fundraising goal. At this point in the fundraising campaign, our focus is on increasing the number of people who give. Every gift, big or small, will help.
To motivate more Creation Justice community members to chip in, a generous anonymous donor will match every donation of $25 or less, made by December 17. I have helped lead our ecumenical mission since we first began in the 1980s. I’ve valued my experiences with Creation Justice Ministries, and that's why I invest my time, talent, and treasure here.

I attend most of our meetings in my camper van, and it’s been a wild and holy adventure. Since I started with Creation Justice Ministries, I’ve:
- prayed at the site of a toxic landfill (and mafia body-hiding site) in Detroit
- co-hosted a teach-ins and Orthodox water blessings of the Atlantic Ocean’s first national monument, the Bristol Bay, and rivers in Seattle as well as Baltimore
- built strategic, faith-rooted friendships with other leaders who share my love of God’s good creation
- published newspaper opinion pieces about safe water, toxic chemicals, and climate change
- attended countless advocacy meetings with elected officials
Over the years, most of the people I've met from the Creation Justice community are not wealthy. Many of us work in church, health, nonprofit, or education sectors. We are parents, health nuts, wildlife enthusiasts, activists, and most of all, keepers of faith. Together, when we pool our resources, we make a bigger impact.
When you make a donation today, you will become an essential piece of our puzzle. (You can see the names on various puzzle pieces on Facebook.) The finished puzzle depicts the Peaceable Kingdom of Isaiah 11, a vision we as the Creation Justice community seek to cast for society.
