Protect Net Metering and Rooftop Solar: (California)
Click here to tell the California Public Utilities Commission to protect Net Metering, rooftop solar, and storage.
Electrical utilities in California are making efforts to weaken Net Metering, which allows rooftop solar customers to feed into the general grid and get credit for it. Net metering, along with rooftop solar and battery storage are important steps in meeting our goal of 100% clean energy by 2045. Tell the CPUC to keep these clean energy mechanisms strong.

Stop Line 3
As Enbridge builds Line 3 through Anishinaabe treaty land and the Mississippi Headwaters, Indigenous leaders and allies in northern Minnesota continue to stand strong in their resistance. The time is now for all of us–people of faith and conscience, Indigenous leaders and allies— from White Earth to Washington DC – to come together and show the world that the days of tar sands pipelines are over. Join Minnesota Interfaith Power & Light, religious leaders, and pipeline opponents from across the country in coming to northern Minnesota on June 5-8 for powerful non-violent direct action. We are rising. Join us.

There is funding to improve agriculture and land practices in the proposed infrastructure package. Now, we need Secretary of Agriculture Vilsack to commit to prioritizing USDA resources for small to medium farmers and ranchers directly – especially those of color, who have too often been underserved – to support their efforts to innovate and act quickly to regenerative practices that keep carbon in the soil.

Urge Your Members of Congress to Support an Infrastructure Plan that Tackles Climate Change!

Urge Your Senators to Support the For the People Act
We cannot protect our health and environment without ensuring that our democracy works for everyone. The For the People Act will protect and expand voting rights, take steps to remove dark money from political campaigns, and limit partisan gerrymandering so that we can tackle the climate crisis. Tell your Senators to support S.1, For The People Act!

Tell our elected leaders that it’s #TimeToAct on climate change!
From the most recent year of devastating hurricanes, wildfires, and record-breaking temperatures, to a mountain of evidence-based science, it’s clear climate change is threatening our livelihoods and the fragile, interconnected web of life. We cannot continue our current course of inaction.
Interfaith Power & Light and thousands of people of faith and conscience around the country urge our elected leaders to consider the moral opportunity that climate change presents to build a more just and equitable world for all, using these FAITH principles:
- FRONTLINE, vulnerable, and BIPOC communities must be supported first
- ACCELERATE the transition to clean energy and commit to net-zero climate pollution in electricity by 2035
- INVEST in climate resiliency and sustainable infrastructure
- TRANSITION our workforce to clean energy jobs with support and job training for workers
- HONOR Creation by following science and commit to net-zero climate pollution by 2050
