Local Climate Solutions Powered By Faith Communities
Local officials tell us they want to act on climate solutions but need to hear from you! That’s where local FACS Advocacy Teams come into the picture!
The faith community and friends are uniquely positioned to deliver the message that reducing greenhouse gas pollution is an urgent, moral imperative.
FACS board members and staff will assist team leads to convene monthly hub webinars, manage group lists and calendars, distribute annual advocacy priorities, and provide additional materials, training, and support.
