Leaders

The  Blessed  Tomorrow coalition is led by a group of individuals representing a broad range of faith traditions from across the country. You can join these leaders and become a member of the coalition by signing a commitment to walk more gently on the earth and to inspire others to lead on climate in their homes, places of worship, and communities. Our Leadership Circle is composed of nationally recognized faith leaders who are spearheading and guiding Blessed Tomorrow.
