As the climate crisis leads to more extreme weather events, faith communities can play a vital role as places of refuge and resiliency. For example, a house of worship with solar panels, battery storage, air conditioning, and an air filtration system can provide a place for community members to come during heat waves, power outages, or unhealthy air quality days. Faith communities not only can serve as drop-in centers, but they can also serve as evacuation zones, emergency shelters, and resource hubs in times of trouble. In this webinar, we will learn more about the cutting edge of how faith communities are embodying a love of neighbor in very tangible and needed ways. We will hear from those leading the way in their local communities to make this happen:

-Bekah Estrada, Southern California Director, Interfaith Power & Light

-Rev. Dr. Kevin Earley, Senior Pastor, Community Church of Atlanta

-Gary White, Environmental Justice Ministry Leader, Congregational Church of San Mateo

Even if you cannot make the webinar at its scheduled time, still sign-up, and we will send you a link to a recording of it.

This monthly installment of Creation Justice Webinars is brought to you by the United Church of Christ, Alabama Interfaith Power & Light, and the People’s Justice Council.

The co-hosts will be the Rev. Dr. Brooks Berndt, the Environmental Justice Minister for the UCC, and Katie Howe, the UCC’s Minister for Disaster Response and Recovery.
