We are partnering with Blessed Tomorrow to offer a live, virtual Climate Ambassador Training on October 28th, 2023 from 12pm – 4pm ET / 9am – 1pm PT. The training equips you with the knowledge, hands-on experience, and resources to speak and take action on climate change in your home, neighborhood, place of worship, community, with policymakers and beyond.
More than 70% of people in the U.S. say they are concerned about climate change and over 40% say they are very concerned, but they think only 14% of people around them are very concerned? You, as a person of faith, can help others see they’re not alone in their concern and invite them to take action.
The training is practical, inspiring, and backed by science. Content includes:
- The Moral Case for Climate Action, Climate Basics
- Climate Impacts & Our Faith, Injustices
- Climate Solutions, Faith in Action, Climate Justice
- Communicating on Climate & Faith
- Advocacy & Engagement
- Making a Difference as an Ambassador
You will be trained to lead presentations, communicate effectively, and invite others into meaningful climate action. You can commit to taking action on climate by signing the Ambassador Pledge at the end of the training and join the Ambassador program which provides access to:
- Localized resources, talking points, customizable presentations and events to help effectively talk about and take action on climate.
- A private online network of thousands of Ambassadors across the U.S. to learn from and collaborate with, and additional training to build your skills.
- On-going support to facilitate direct advocacy opportunities like write blogs, op-eds, and letters to the editor, participate in candidate forums or give public comments, rallies, contact elected officials and more.
Presbyterian Hunger Program and PC(USA) are partnering with Blessed Tomorrow to provide Presbyterians with extra resources to educate and advocate around issues related to climate change. Your gifts to One Great Hour of Sharing assist Presbyterian Hunger Program in providing these opportunities.
