Earth is in crisis. According to the UN, more than one million animal and plant species are now threatened with extinction, many within decades. As sea levels continue rising, extreme weather events like wildfires, floods, and hurricanes are becoming more frequent and more intense. All the while, frontline communities are already experiencing the most harmful effects economically, environmentally, and especially on their health.
We are facing a Climate Emergency. Right now.
As people of faith, we are part of a diverse coalition calling for the U.S. Congress to call this by its name and officially declare a Climate Emergency. We are also working together to have our faith leaders, congregations, and institutions further amplify the Climate Emergency Declaration. These words not only have the power to awaken hearts and minds, but also to help mobilize the types of resources and public programs needed as an urgent response to climate change.
