Our Core Belief is that the Active Care of the Natural World is Integral to Spiritual Life and Social Justice

New Mexico Interfaith Power & Light works for climate justice by mobilizing faith communities, faith leaders and people of faith to reduce the causes and consequences of global climate change through religious inspiration, education, outreach, implementation of sustainable practices and advocating effective climate protection policies.

We are blessed to be a large interfaith community of love in action in New Mexico. Every voice is important.
