Action Center

Answering the call of faith to care for Creation
We care for Creation and Creation cares for us. This sacred relationship calls on us to deepen in reflection and action for climate justice.

“Active Hope is not wishful thinking … Active Hope is waking up to the beauty of life on whose behalf we can act.”

Joanna Macy, Active Hope

“We came, we saw, we launched.”

⛽ Standing with Communities in the Permian Basin: The Permian Basin is at the heart of the climate crisis—and the center of possibility. Our work raises awareness of the impacts of oil and gas extraction while building partnerships for a just transition. We believe in a future beyond fossil fuels, where communities and Creation can thrive.
