People of faith around the country are rapidly accepting their responsibility to be stewards of Creation. We have a moral obligation to protect all of God's Creation. The people who contribute the least to the climate problem are the ones who will suffer, and are already suffering the most, making this a justice issue and calling for immediate participation from the faith community. We are inviting all houses of worship to get involved as educators in Focus the Nation.
To get involved, form an organizing team, and SIGN UP to host an event. The simplest way to participate will be to join with faith organizations across the country in screening The 2% SOLUTION This interactive, special production will feature Stanford Professor Stephen Schneider, green jobs pioneer Van Jones, and business consultant Hunter Lovins, and will be available free of charge on Earth Day TV. The webcast will be ideal for sparking small group discussion, and help your group participate in the national citizen vote on global warming solutions CHOOSE YOUR FUTURE. A webcast screening is also the ideal opportunity to plan for follow-up discussions with elected officials during the President’s Day Congressional recess in Mid-February.
In addition, Faith communities can host global warming speakers, or share their faith perspective at other Focus the Nation events. There are also many RESOURCES about global warming and the religious community’s response available to people of all different faiths.
Finally, reach out to your community. Encourage other places of worship to join with you in your efforts, or to hold Focus the Nation events of their own. Focus the Nation will only be successful if we truly involve the entire nation in this historic conversation about the future.
If you aren't part of an organizing team, you can still join the Focus the Nation effort. Sign up to STAY INFORMED
