Creation Care, a Lenten Discipline

Lent can be the perfect time to strengthen our resolve to care for Creation. Rev. Dec. Leeann Culbreath has written on this theme, reflecting on Ash Wednesday and her coal ash work in South Georgia. Georgia Interfaith Power & Light shares Lenten resources. One may speak to you about integrating Creation Care into your Lent season!

Now is the time to act on the budget

What to do

Call your U.S. Representative and urge them not to accept the Senate version of the budget reconciliation bill without amendments that:
1. Protect vulnerable populations by restoring or preserving funding for food assistance, healthcare, housing, education, and childcare.
2. Avoid placing new, unfunded administrative burdens on states and nonprofits.
3. Retain programs that are essential to local jobs, services, and economic resilience in communities across your district, including Inflation Reduction Act funding.
Reach out to local officials to speak about the economic harm involved, and ask them to speak out against provisions that harm your nonprofit as an employer and contributor to the local economy.
Mobilize your network to do the same. Every voice counts!
