Help Identify Emerging Leaders on Climate Justice

From GreenFaith (http://greenfaith.org):

We believe that millennial faith leaders can change the world. We’re asking you to help us find them.

Last year, with the Paris climate talks approaching, GreenFaith trained 110 young faith leaders – ages 21 to 40 from over 30 countries – at an international, multi-faith Convergence in Rome. These leaders returned home and made a remarkable impact in the lead-up to Paris. They organized advocacy efforts, mobilizations, pilgrimages, and more in support of climate action. They showed that individual leaders can make a powerful impact.

We are excited to announce two Convergences for 2016— one for emerging Latin American leaders in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil from June 6th to 8th, and one for US and Canadian leaders in New Orleans, Louisiana from June 20th to 24th. Each Convergence offers an opportunity for emerging faith leaders from diverse traditions to connect with their peers, to engage issues of climate justice, and to develop plans to mobilize their faith communities in response.

North American Convergence Applications are due April 18th
