Young Evangelicals for Climate Action

We are coming together & taking action to overcome the climate crisis as part of our Christian discipleship & witness. Principal actions:

Mobilizing our generation of evangelicals

to act and advocate together. We are building a movement of young evangelicals to overcome the adverse impacts of climate change and pursue sustainable lives that reduce our own carbon impact.

Our mission is to create awareness about the plight of the environment, to educate the public about caring for our planet, humanity and the environment, to run recycling operations and to support environmental projects and programs locally and globally.

Some of our projects:

Collecting Used Clothes and Shoes
Through our green drop off bins we provide a convenient way for people in local communities to drop their unwanted clothes and other items.

Better Future Project works to build powerful grassroots movements to address the climate crisis and advance a rapid and responsible transition beyond fossil fuels. We educate the public about climate change, empower new leaders, and help citizens to make their voices heard.

Our volunteers are among the strongest voices demanding swift action on climate change in Massachusetts.

In the years since our founding, we've engaged in countless campaigns for climate and clean energy:

Elected Officials to Protect America

Elected Officials to Protect America is a network of over a thousand state and local elected officials from all 50 states committed to solving the climate crisis while protecting our communities, public health, and environment.

We connect and organize lawmakers to support policies that protect public health, the environment and grow clean energy jobs, while empowering courageous leadership on climate change.

Moms Clean Air Force is a community of moms and dads united against air pollution – and climate change – to protect our children’s health. Arm yourself with reliable information and solutions through our online resources, articles, action tools and on-the-ground events.

We currently have chapters in 18 states, including Illinois.

*Our blog keeps you connected with what we’re doing in Illinois.

*We offer a community of local moms and dads who share your clean air concerns.

As respected professionals, doctors and nurses have a crucial part to play in raising awareness about the health and healthcare implications of climate change. To facilitate the medical community's efforts, The Medical Society Consortium on Climate & Health brings together associations representing some 500,000 clinical practictioners to carry three messages:

The Freshwater Trust is an action-oriented not-for-profit that restores rivers and streams throughout Oregon.

With more than 30 years of on-the-ground experience, we are the largest restoration-focused organization in the Pacific Northwest, and the second largest conservation group based in Oregon. We have a unique mix of in-house staff expertise, ranging from fish biologists and hydrologists to GIS experts, business and conservation systems analysts, attorneys and ecosystem services analysts.

Friends of the Everglades

Friends of the Everglades was founded by Marjory Stoneman Douglas in 1969 as an advocacy group to preserve, protect and restore the only Everglades on Earth.

Our Goals:
• Compel government agencies to comply with existing environmental laws, and resist any efforts to weaken such laws.
• Encourage politicians to recognize the long consequences of their actions.
• Spread awareness of the importance of the Everglades to the South Florida ecosystem.

The two biggest problems facing our country—and the world—are runaway climate change and rising inequality. We can’t solve one without addressing the other.

If we eliminate racism and poverty but do nothing to address climate pollution, we’ll all be equal on a planet plagued by floods, drought, disease, and disasters. And we can’t win on climate unless we build a bigger and broader movement that meets the needs of the hardest-hit Americans.

We’re working to turn the tide on both fronts. Join us!
