Energy Transition: Seeking Economic and Ecological Justice

As people of faith, we offer a counter-narrative to the loud voices that pit economic and ecological well-being against one another. Our faith teaches us that care for God's creation and care for our neighbors are moral responsibilities that go hand-in-hand. We also believe in showing our neighbors kindness and respect, even when we disagree.
