IPL Launches Faith Climate Justice Voter Campaign

/in , , /by

The national Interfaith Power & Light and state affiliates like New Mexico El Paso Region Interfaith Power & Light are launching our 2022 Faith Climate Justice Voter Campaign to reach out to people of faith and conscience. We want to make sure they are registered and ready to vote and mobilize them to vote their values of caring for our common home and loving our neighbors.

Is your voter registration is current? Confirm it’s up to date for this important election year.

Mark Your Calendars for these election dates in New Mexico

  • Primary Election:

    June 7, 2022

  •  General Election:

    November 8, 2022

As people of faith and conscience, our values call us to ensure that everyone is cared for and to be good stewards of our Sacred Earth. Climate change is destroying our common home, harming our communities, and putting future generations at risk.

For too long, the fossil fuel industry has divided and distracted us with lies while they endanger our climate and pollute our air and water. They exploit our differences trying to divide us. They pick and choose where to dump toxins based on the contents of our wallets and the color of our skin, hoping to avoid accountability for the crisis they created for all of us.

This election is about the values shaping our future. Together, we can express our values of ensuring a livable planet for our children and that all are cared for. We can come together to vote our values and make a difference.

Please confirm your voter registration is current at our online voter portal.

Once you’ve done that, help make sure your faith community is ready to vote by asking them to check their registration or register to vote.

Voting is the central sacrament of our democracy. Join us in ensuring our faith communities are ready to vote and are voting their values this year.
