Season's greetings! I hope this finds you very well.
It has been a big year for the Creation Justice Program, and we have plans to make a big difference with your support and involvement in 2026.
This year we humbly accepted a leadership role with the StopGas.org coalition, which opposes toxic "natural gas" in the states of Oregon, Idaho and Washington. We launched a new website (StopGas.org), led a communication campaign across eastern and central Oregon, and visited several communities to give presentations on the risks of gas to our safety, health and climate.
Over the past year, we have learned how toxic fossil gas really is, and how severely it impacts people's health across Oregon. We have a three-step plan to address this injustice in 2026.
Step 1: Provide education and air quality testing -- to help people understand their exposure to toxic pollution from fossil gas.
Step 2: Launch service centers -- to help people access existing funding and technical assistance to remove fossil gas pollution from their homes ASAP.
Step 3: Organize impacted communities and seek compensation -- to make polluters pay for the additional resources needed to remove pollution from the places we live, learn, play, and work -- and to address the costly harms to our health.
Without a doubt, this will be a major effort, and we need all the help we can find (time, talent and treasure). Can we count on your support in 2026? Please consider giving a year-end gift, and let's connect about how else you would like to contribute to the cause.
