¿Estás con el Papa? Support Pope Francis in His Urgent Call for Action on Climate Change
Pope Francis has become increasingly vocal on the importance of acting on climate change. He understands that with rising sea levels threatening coastal communities and intensifying droughts devastating crops, and with more extreme weather destroying livelihoods – our warming planet is putting us all at risk, especially the poor and vulnerable around the world.
In his recent visits to Mexico and the United States, Pope Francis continues to encourage care for the planet in order to ensure the health and safety of all people.
But conservative groups like the Heartland Institute have criticized him for invoking our moral responsibility to act on climate change. We Latinos understand the necessity to act – para la salud de nuestras comunidades y nuestro futuro.
Let's make sure he knows we support his call for strong climate action.
Dear Pope Francis,
Thank you for speaking up for the need for the world to come together and act on climate change. As a Latino in the United States, many of our communities are disproportionately affected by the effects of climate change – from poor air quality, extreme weather, and rising sea levels.
The most poor and vulnerable populations in our world are feeling the effect of climate change every day, as well. I agree with you that we must tackle the climate crisis in order to bring about a more just and healthy future.
