Deep Faith and Dark Waters: Lessons and Love in Environmental Justice, is an in-depth analysis of an environmental justice themed movie Dark Waters. This blog helps viewers understand the deeper message of the movie and also provides a few reasons to check it out this spring.

Be sure to ask your church family to include the calendar in the bulletin for Ash Wednesday or on another Sunday at the start of Lent as another way to mark this special season.

Be sure to regularly check our website during the 2020 session. Stay tuned for updating fact sheets, updates and action alerts. If you are going to speak to your legislator, make sure to check out resources and information here.

To make sure that you are plugged in for the General Assembly, Virginia Interfaith Power & Light has planned out weekly briefings every Sunday.

The purpose of these briefings is to give an update and for you to learn how to engage your community in the area of environmental justice.

These update calls are for congregational liaisons as well as chapter leaders, board members and activists.

It's great to be working with you!
