Event Information
Description
A day of preparation for people of all faiths
Learn how to speak with moral authority on the issue of climate change in Pennsylvania

Workshop Leaders:

People of faith possess the moral authority to be important and credible parties to the awakening of awareness and responsibility for climate change among elected leaders and non-elected policy makers.
We seek to prepare people of faith who are willing to pro-actively initiate meetings with policy makers, electoral candidates and other religious leaders to lift up the moral dimensions of this crisis and support effective and rapid transition plans for a just clean energy future in Pennsylvania and the nation.
