While continuing our energy democracy work through our NC Interfaith Power & Light campaign, the Council has broadened our climate justice work by creating the Eco-Justice Connection (EJC).
We strive to do this work in a variety of ways, through advocacy and by building relationships with our elected officials, by inviting congregations to think differently about food and agriculture, by investing in the work of resilience and restoration, by empowering youth climate organizers, by making climate and human health connections, by preaching and teaching around our state, and through conversations and actions focused on energy use, renewable energy, energy justice, and energy efficiency.
The Eco-Justice Connection program is grounded in the Jemez Principles for Democratic Organizing, with Justice, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion (JEDI) Principles guiding our values. Click here to read our statement.
