EPA Hearings and action by faith communities

On July 29 and 30, EPA will host the first of just four national hearings on the proposed Clean Power Plan in Atlanta. A Rally for Clean Energy Future is at 12 noon in Woodruff Park followed by a march to the Sam Nunn Federal Building. Email Courtney@georgiawand.org for more information. 

Georgia Interfaith Power & Light (GIPL) is collaborating with the environmental community from across the southeast to rally support for the upcoming EPA hearings.   Several GIPL friends are registered to testify at the hearings and you are needed. You need not be an expert on this new clean power plan in order to testify. You are needed if you feel a passion for our shared responsibility to care for and defend Creation.  Read more here about how you can join the efforts.

GIPL invites all to an Interfaith Prayer Breakfast on Tuesday, July 29 - 7:30 – 8:15 a.m. at Central Presbyterian Church in downtown Atlanta.  In support of EPA Carbon Pollution Standards, gather to pray for wisdom to prevail and to garner the strength to work towards resilient communities in this time of environmental challenges. All are invited to break bread and pray together, acknowledging our strength in working together across faith traditions and the shared responsibility of caring for our Earth. Email Rev. Kate McGregor Mosley at kate@gipl.org for event details or check out GIPL's facebook pageGIPL's Facebook Page. or email info@gipl.org

Medicaid Re-enrollment

If your ministry serves Medicaid/PeachCare for Kids, the Dept. of Human Services has a message and materials for you. 

    • Redetermination began in April 2023. Based on changes in federal law, the State of Georgia must complete redeterminations up to May 2024. We want to ensure current Medicaid and PeachCare for Kids® members are still eligible for coverage. 
    • During redetermination, the State of Georgia will collect and verify member information, including contact and income details as well as other requested information and documents that will be used to determine member eligibility. Not everyone will go through this process at the same time. In fact, it will take about 14 months to reach everyone. 
    • Members can visit gateway.ga.gov to view their redetermination date and to update their contact information today so they can stay informed about the status of their coverage. 
    • Members who need help can visit their local Division of Family & Children Services office for support. To find the location and business hours for local offices, visit: dfcs.ga.gov/location 
    • For more information on Medicaid redetermination, we are including a partner toolkit with resources in multiple languages, please visit “Stay Informed. Stay Covered.”
