Advocate for Creation by building relationships with your legislators through emails, phone calls, mail, and in-person visits

|

Suggested Practices and Examples for Implementation:

  • Send emails, letters, or postcards to elected officials, calling for them to take action.
    • Provide templates and suggested messages for those who need guidance
  • Make phone calls and leave voicemails when necessary.
    • Provide a script for individuals who are unsure of what to say when they call
  • Set up meetings with your legislators and tell them about your faith and call to love your neighbors and the earth, as well as ask them about their own stories and how you can support them in the work they do (building relationships is critical).
  • Connect with local or state environmental advocacy organizations, like NC Interfaith Power & Light, GreenFaith, Creation Justice Ministries, and others to join them in meetings their staff set up with elected officials and get an understanding of their legislative issue priorities or talking points
