Tired of waiting for action, Boulder County spiritual leaders and faith communities joined diverse faith communities in a globally coordinated action over the weekend under the banner of Faiths 4 Climate Justice. Over 30 people led the multi-faith moving vigil, which was organized by the GreenFaith Boulder County Circle. Participants distributed over 300 Vote + Act for Climate Justice flyers during the vigil with information about the Citizens’ Climate Lobby, Environmental Voter Project, 350 Colorado, and key climate-related issues on the ballot this November, including Proposition FF which would create a state-wide, Healthy School Meals for All program, amplifying voice of Latinx/e parents who have been asking St. Vrain Valley School District (SVVSD) for more than two years to have more fresh and healthy foods prepared with local ingredients. They also shared information about calling on financial institutions to divest from fossil fuels and invest in local communities and renewable energy technology.
