On Thursday, March 11th join people of faith and conscience all around the world in kicking off organizing for a faith-climate day of action, all at the grassroots, for Sacred People, Sacred Earth.

Sacred People, Sacred Earth is organized by GreenFaith and the Parliament of the World's Religions is proud to join communities and organizations around the world in serving as a co-sponsor.

Together we are a global, multi-faith, environmental alliance. We stand for equality and against injustice. We believe in reverence and compassion for all life. We motivate people of faith to lead by example. We call upon our leaders to safeguard our future.

Get Involved!

Acting on the network's ten demands, grassroots faith activists are calling for climate justice. Following globally sensitive COVID-safe guidelines, we’re gathering in small, socially-distanced groups or virtually to activate our shared moral power for climate justice.

Here are some tips for deciding what your action should be:

Choose one of the ten demands in the Sacred People, Sacred Earth statement that’s relevant to your community. For example, Australian religious communities are calling on their Prime Minister and Parliament to end new fossil fuel development.
Choose a local action to address your chosen issue. For example, faith communities in the U.S. are calling on President Biden to stop the Line 3 pipeline and build back fossil free.
Whether ringing a bell, blowing the shofar or conch shell, chanting, or meditating, be sure to post a photo online holding your sign with the #Faiths4Climate hashtag. Include your location, name of your religious or spiritual community, and your demand. You’ll find social media and other communications resources in this guide. You can also join the Sacred People, Sacred Earth Facebook group, where you can connect with other organizers, get live updates on the day of action, and upload your photos and videos on 11 March!

Want to take action from home? Join the global day of action in 3 easy steps:

1. Make a sign with the person, government agency, policy, or elected official that you’re targeting and the action you want from them, e.g. President Biden: Stop Fossil Fuels or Minister of Environment: Clean Up Our Waterways
2. Hold the sign in front of your home and take a photo with yourself, friends, and/or family.
3. Post the photo on your social media with the hashtags #Faiths4Climate
and #SacredPeopleSacredEarth and tag @greenfaithworld (Twitter and Instagram) or @greenfaith (Facebook). In your post, say where you’re located in the world. If you don’t know how to post on social media, send your photo to info@greenfaith.org.
