Growing the Movement for Climate Action

A few years ago, when I had just started at Iowa IPL, I used to say, “the great thing about leading a faith based organization is that I can honestly say, I’m not sure how this is going to work out, but I have faith it will.”

The point of saying that, beyond a lame attempt at humor, is that part of having faith is having the confidence that when we do the right thing, good things will follow. In the case of Iowa IPL, I realized that if we had faith in our mission, we could do great things, even as we faced challenges.

We are building capacity to empower Iowans of faith and conscience to take bold and just climate action. We are excited. We are celebrating. And we are hiring a new staff person. Here’s why it’s time to grow our staff. 

We’ve just finished one of our most successful fundraising appeals. Thank you to our amazing supporters who take action and donate financially to support this work. This commitment to action and to financial support gives us confidence to grow.

 

Add your name to call on congress to support climate & clean energy!

Faith leaders and leaders of religious communities, join leaders across the country in signing on to this call to action from national Interfaith Power & Light. The deadline to sign is June 9th.

Know someone interested in a vocation in climate action? 

Iowa IPL is expanding! We are looking for a program associate to join our team this summer. This position will allow us to live further into our mission and take even more climate action in our state. 

We recently filed official comments to the USDA on the climate crisis! 

We are proud to have provided comments and believe that the USDA has the opportunity to develop agricultural solutions, centered on rural Americans, that can deliver economic and environmental benefits. 

 

Your financial support empowers Iowans of faith and conscience to take bold and just action on the climate crisis. Together we are transforming our communities, our state, our country, and our world.
