64. Diversity in Common Cause: Jessica Zimmerle of Earth Ministry/WAIPL

In this episode Forrest talks with Jessica Zimmerle, Advocacy Director at Earth Ministry. Earth Ministry, part of the Interfaith Power & Light network in the US, aims to inspire and mobilize people of faith from diverse traditions, to advocate for strong environmental policies, and offer guidance to faith communities working toward environmental justice. Importantly, they work to create conversation and collaboration that doesn’t ignore cultural and ideological differences; instead, they place a high value on diversity that brings new perspective and broadens understanding.Link to Forrest & Kayra’s video review of the Carbon Collective site.Discount code for $50 of the Waymarkers course: WILDAUTUMNEARTHKEEPERS.
