Religious institutions have led the way on divesting from fossil fuels, playing a vital role in major climate mobilization. They now join this #FossilFuelTreaty call "to remedy the decades of negligence" & "heal the planet & people alike" as stated in their letter.
Faith leaders are part of a growing movement that recognizes fossil fuels are the greatest contributor to climate change. That list includes the likes of @WHO, European Parliament, Vanuatu, 101 Nobel Laureates and leading academics. See the full list: fossilfueltreaty.org
We are stewards of God’s Earth!

This week, the Charlotte (North Carolina) GreenFaith Circle and friends met with @BankOfAmerica’s VP for Communications, Kelly Sapp, to deliver a petition with more than 100k signatures demanding #BankOfAmerica declare publicly it will not fund Formosa Plastics' new plant.
Formosa Plastics is trying to build a massive 14-facility petrochemicals complex in St. James Parish, Louisiana, the heart of what is known as “Cancer Alley.” If it succeeds, it would double toxic emissions there.
"Lavigne credits her faith for getting her to this point.
'I know he has me here for a reason, so I want to do his will,' Lavigne said. 'I want to do the work that he wants me to do. He put a fight in me that I can’t even explain."

As we speak, Formosa Plastics is trying to build a massive petrochemicals complex in St. James Parish. It would double toxic emissions there. The residents of St. James Parish — who are predominantly Black — already suffer from cancer rates 50 x higher than the national average.
