Interfaith Vigil for Earth Justice – September 2025

In silence – We resist greed and indifference.  We stand with the suffering.  We pray for earth repair

As members of various faiths, we are called to stand together in silence for and solidarity with our Earth at this time of climate chaos and environmental devastation driven by human greed and indifference.  We call out and resist federal policies that have reversed the progress made in addressing climate disruption and the ruthless steps of the current administration to monetize Earth in our name.  Join us for our first (recurring monthly) Interfaith Vigil for Earth Justice on Monday, August 4 @ 12-1 PM at the U.S. District Court building, 385 W. Broadway.  Please wear black if you can.  This event is open to persons of faith and no faith–do join us!!

With the severe reduction in clean energy initiatives, a rollback on many of the plans that would help meet California’s commitment to carbon neutrality by 2035, and new proposals to increase oil and gas drilling that will harm wildlife and add to pollution of the air and water, we are compelled to respond.  This vigil is one of the ways that our faith calls us to public witness.

Our Vigil is sponsored by the Interfaith Coalition for Earth Justice.  For more information contact Phil Petrie at phil@icejsd.org.
