Action Alerts from the Episcopal Office of Government Relations
Tell Congress to Help Stop Illegal Deforestation. Urge your representatives to cosponsor the FOREST Act of 2021 (S.2950/H.R.5508). This bipartisan legislation would improve trade transparency to help ensure our nation’s imports are not connected to illegal deforestation in other countries.
Action Alert from the Episcopal Public Policy Network of California
Tell your state representatives to support SB260. Urge your representatives to support Senate bill SB260, the Climate Corporate Accountability Act. This bill requires all large corporations doing business in California to publicly disclose their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventory each year in a manner easily understandable and accessible to the people of California. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) could then create targets for reductions in the level of emissions that the corporation should achieve. If you don’t measure it, you cannot manage it.

Donations to Episcopal Relief & Development’s Ukraine Crisis Response Fund will help the organization and its partners continue to provide assistance to people displaced by the crisis in Ukraine.
