Washington D.C. Speaker to Meet with Interfaith Group for Climate Action

Interfaith group to
meet for climate action

An Interfaith Moral Call to Climate Action will be held on Saturday,
April 12th at 6:00 pm at Newtown Friends Meetinghouse, 219 Court St.
Newtown, PA.  The evening will begin with
a potluck dinner, followed by featured guest Jose Aguto, who will speak about
the critical voice of the faith community in mobilizing climate action.

Aguto serves as the legislative Secretary of Sustainable Energy and
Environment for Friends Committee on National Legislation (FCNL) in Washington, D.C.. At FCNL he directs lobbying efforts that reflect moral and faith based
calls to restore Earth.  He will share his extensive knowledge of why and
how people of faith are joining together to catalyze bi-partisan
Congressional action for meaningful solutions to climate disruption. 

“Grounded in the Golden Rule, non-partisan faith communities have
historically established and sustained a moral foundation for many social
movements,” says Kathy Harr, event organizer.  “They are ideal for
mobilizing the grassroots support necessary to protect the vulnerable from the
ravages of climate change.” 

People of all faiths, who share a desire to heal and protect life on our
sacred planet, are invited to join the April 12th gathering and help build a
local interfaith climate action coalition.
