INTERFAITH COALITION FOR EARTH JUSTICE

ICEJ advocates for climate and environmental justice both in policy and in the public square. We are a volunteer organization serving to educate, equip, and mobilize faith communities to advocate for environmental justice. As leaders and clergy from many faith traditions, we share the mandate to care for and protect all of creation, to love our neighbors, and care for the most vulnerable.

ICEJ hosted it’s first annual booth at Earth Fair 2022, the largest earth day fair in the world, at Balboa Park. Our goal was to educate the public that faith communities care about eco-justice and emphasize that faith must lead to action and give attendees a call to action they could easily do. We also asked attendees to join in writing President Biden and urge him to honor his fossil fuel pledge. With the help of our amazing volunteers, many people signed the postcards that ICEJ mailed to The White House on their behalf.

This summer we began work on deeper outreach to our local faith and BIPOC communities, working with Grid Alternative to help lower-income homeowners get access to free solar roof installations. We are looking forward to working with these communities to see how ICEJ can better serve their needs for environmental equity.
