Protect Endangered Species

As Christians, we believe all of God's creatures are sacred, as each plays an important role in maintaining the health of our shared home.The current administration has proposed a new rule that would eliminate habitat protections for endangered species in the United States by changing the basic definition of what has been considered “harm” to threatened and endangered wildlife under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). As the climate crisis continues to threaten the biodiversity of Creation, we must do all we can to protect all creatures who are at risk. 
Take action below and submit a public comment in opposition to this rule change!

Protect Funding for Clean Energy ​Projects
As communities across the country experience harm caused by increased flooding, fires, and drought –  investing in clean energy is imperative to address the urgency of the climate crisis. The clean energy tax credits passed last Congress are essential for supporting this transition and meeting the power requirements of a growing clean energy economy. Friends of the fossil fuel industry in Congress are threatening to cut these tax credits. ​
Sign the petition to call on Congress to Save Clean Energy Investments for our neighbors and our Earth!

Protect Creation and Our Sacred Public Lands
As Christians, we are called to heal and protect creation. Yet today, our nation's public lands – places of deep ecological, spiritual, and cultural significance –  are at risk of harmful extraction that would have devastating impacts on the local ecosystems and communities.  Friends of the fossil fuel industry are working undermine bedrock environmental protections that safeguard vital wildlife habitats and sacred Indigenous sites. ​​​

Call on Congress to Protect NOAA Funding

The National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration plays a critical role in conserving and managing coastal and marine ecosystems. As climate disasters and extreme temperatures become more common, essential services provided by the Oceanic and Research Division (OAR) help save lives. The proposed cuts together represent a nearly 75% reduction in funding to OAR and 27% cut to NOAA's overall budget.​

Why We Take Action for God's Creation

Living out our faith goes beyond individual actions, our own households, or our own churches. We are called to follow the example of Jesus and the prophets--to be courageous in proactively shaping our communities and our world to better align with our faith values.
​

In the United States, we have a democratic system that requires active input from people of faith and good conscience. A healthy democracy requires people to be educated, organized, and engaged at every level. Creation Justice Ministries specializes in helping Christian communities to engage at the federal level of US government.

How We Take Action for God's Creation


Testify at Public Hearings

When public policy decisions are being made, there is often an opportunity to make your opinion heard in a public hearing.
Creation Justice Ministries sometimes helps faith leaders prepare testimonies to federal agencies, but this is an important practice to engage at city, county, and state levels also.
Check out Creation Justice Ministries' guide to preparing testimony for a public hearing. In the picture, a young leader testifies before the Environmental Protection Agency about air pollution standards.

Organize Your Community

Where two or three are gathered, God is among us, and nothing is impossible. Planning educational events, prayer services, vigils, community forums, listening sessions, and town hall meetings make a difference. Consider getting your faith community involved in Earth Day Sunday, the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, or the Season of Creation. Let Creation Justice Ministries know your plans at [email protected]

Get Published

Efforts to care for God's creation are news-worthy. Write your opinion in the comments section of online articles, or formally respond to an article with a letter to the editor. Be an opinion leader by drafting a blog post or an opinion editorial to a local newspaper. Let Creation Justice Ministries know if you get published by emailing us at [email protected]. The image shows a social media meme quoting a faith leader's piece in his local newspaper.
