Direct Action

Future Goals for Action

The Laudato Si Circle - South Philly works toward prayerful action to be a prophetic voice in our community to stop the worst impacts of climate change. As we begin this journey, we want to provide space for prayerful reflection and community conversations to decide together the best ways to take direct action. Ideas may include:

  • Litter clean up in our neighborhoods

  • Urging disinvestment from fossil fuel industry in various organizations, including the Church

  • Partnering with area organizations to promote greening projects

If you have other ideas, please bring them to our next meeting or email LaudatoSiSouthPhilly@gmail.com
