The crush of the global climate crisis was never more clear than this summer when warming driven fires ravaged our state.  Unparalleled floods followed.  And recovery has only just begun as spring nears once again. New Mexico’s current 60-day legislative session is central to our New Mexico response to the climate crisis, and you are a key part of that. Your kids and grandkids, your special places, your rivers and wildlife are all at the heart of the stories we have to tell that also drive our advocacy. Turn your fears and concerns into action and change. 

 

 

 

 

 

Current Revolution: Featured Film of Faith Climate Action 2023

Share the exciting news of the transition to clean energy with your congregation with a series of short films called Current Revolution, this year’s featured film of Faith Climate Action Week in April. These films show the possibility of a just transition to a clean energy economy where the well-being of workers and frontline community members is valued, instead of neglected.

Said Susan Stephenson, executive director of IPL, “I think you will love this offering, because the short films are a perfect length to view in a group and then allow time for discussion at your events, and you can offer the whole series over multiple weeks or evenings! The first two of the three films are approximately 30 minutes each, and the last is 6 minutes. Also, astute viewers will notice a familiar face in one of the films – long-time IPL national chair Rev. Dr. Gerald Durley!”

IPL congregations may register to share these films for free during Faith Climate Action Week, April 14-23, 2023. A screening license is normally $90, but thanks to the generosity of the American Resilience Project, this screening license is FREE to IPL congregations.

Registration to share these films with your congregation is coming in March. Sign up here to be notified when registration is open.

DVDs are available for purchase now through IPL for screening at any time. $25 plus shipping, INCLUDES screening rights (valued at $90.)

Purchase your DVD here.

These films expand on this year’s Faith Climate Action Week theme: Living the Golden Rule: Just Transition to a Clean Energy Economy. The theme examines our responsibility to transition to energy sources that are sustainable and healthy for our communities and Creation.

Purchase your DVD here. 

IPL invites you to screen this film series as part of your celebrations of Earth Month and join the community of people of faith preaching, teaching, and acting to heal the climate in 2023!

They were part of a coalition that came together on Feb. 9 for Land, Water and Wildlife Day at the NM State Legislature

More than 30 groups advocting for climate justice, for communities, for health and to protect our sacred creation came together in Santa Fe that day.

The groups included 350 New Mexico, Sierra Club-Rio Grande chapter, Amigos Bravos,  New Mexico Wilderness Alliance, Conservation Voters New Mexico and many other dedicated organizations.
