Register your congregation for Vote for Climate Hope: Last chance!

People are more likely to vote when they make a commitment to others to vote, and the climate crisis is deeply motivating for many potential voters. As a way to put values and vision into practice, the United Church of Christ is conducting a Vote for Climate Hope campaign in 2024.

Congregations are urged to register now to receive a packet of Climate Hope Voter Pledge Cards and commit to joining UCC congregations from across the country in distributing and collecting these from church attendees, friends, and community members.

Each person who pledges to vote by completing a card will receive a confirmation email with helpful voter information, a one-time reminder of their pledge to vote in the week before the election, and a chance to win one of ten Vote for Climate Hope tumblers featuring the artwork from our 2024 Climate Hope Art Contest for children and youth.

The National Setting of the UCC will ship pledge cards to churches at no cost to congregations.

The UCC congregation that collects the most Climate Hope Voter Pledge Cards this summer and fall will win a pizza party and be automatically nominated as a finalist for the UCC’s annual Dollie Burwell Prophetic Action Award.

It’s just a little past the deadline for churches, but churches can still participate if they register NOW!

During a summer when news media outlets have focused attention on the sheer number of people who die from climate-related events like heat waves, climate justice has a strong moral urgency for people of faith this election season. This is an opportunity to join the UCC effort to bring attention to this matter.
