During an inspiring panel discussion held on September 17th, 2024 (Constitution Day!), representatives from diverse faith traditions came together to explore the urgent need for a Green Amendment in New Jersey. This conversation emphasized the moral imperative to protect sacred Earth, drawing on teachings and principles from Islam, Indigenous wisdom, Methodism, and Unitarian Universalism. Their commentary solidified the moral responsibility people of all faiths have to ensure clean air, clean water, a stable climate and healthy environment for future generations.

As the panel concluded, the leader of the Green Amendment movement, Maya K. van Rossum, urged attendees to transform their faith into action. Environmental crises are increasingly pressing, making this call to action resonate deeply. Through our shared values and collective efforts, we have the power to make a meaningful impact to realize environmental justice. It is time to act together, inspired by our diverse expressions of faith and spirituality and advocate for a just and stable future.
