This week:
I’m not religious. But I did (barely) successfully major in religious studies.
For better and often for worse, the history of faith and organized religion has been the backbone of human history, political science, culture, wars, sexual ethics, and more.
Subtle or not, religion and faith are most often the answer to why people do what they do, and to how we got here, even now as the west barrels towards majority secularism.
Here's What You Can Do:
- Donate to the Climate Justice Alliance to amplify grassroots leadership working towards a Just Transition.
- 🌏️ Volunteer with the Green Faith Alliance and get your faith group involved in climate action.
- 🌏️ Learn about how colonialism is a historical and ongoing driver of climate change and its impacts.
- Be heard about science-based health care and tell your Senator to vote “No” on RFK Jr’s nomination.
- Invest in a more equitable world by investing in the Black Farmer Fund to increase the representation and success of Black agricultural and food businesses.
