Get Involved: Seeking Climate Justice for All
Advocacy Spotlight: Take Action to Support the Clean Power Plan
In August 2015, the Administration released the Clean Power Plan, the largest scale coordinated effort our nation has ever tried to reduce carbon pollution, state by state.
As people of faith living in a democracy, it is important to tell our elected officials what public policies support our values. Creation Justice Ministries released a statement supporting the Clean Power Plan, and throughout the rest of 2015, we urge people of faith and conscience to encourage their governors and state legislators to support implementation of the Clean Power Plan. You can take action by using Creation Justice Ministries' letter-writing tool.
