RVUUF’s Social Justice and Action Committee is encouraging support for Clergy Climate Action’s Call for Climate Justice. Clergy Climate Action’s letter reads in part:

“As religious leaders, we have an essential role to play in the climate justice movement. We are called to lift up hope and faith as antidotes to despair and denial. We hold hope in the love that made this world, and hope that this crisis is an opportunity to incite the moral courage of our generation. We hold faith in the human spirit and faith in God to guide us to courageous and visionary action. We are not assured success. We only know we are called to play our part.” (Clergy Climate Action)

Signers (clergy or spiritual leaders, congregants and community members) pledge to undertake direct action and civil disobedience to protest fossil fuel expansion.
