Splash Into a Summer of Action

YECA is excited to announce that we are working with our partner ministry, Evangelical Environmental Network (EEN), for Summer of Action. Summer of Action is a program of educational webinars and trainings by EEN and YECA staff to equip our Advocates to take local and federal climate action.
Sign up to join us at EEN's trainings throughout the summer!
EEN Trainings:
- Communicating About Creation Care | June 12, 12:00 PM EDT
- Meeting with Policymakers | June 26, 12:00 PM EDT
- Lay of the Land in Pennsylvania | July 24, 11:00 AM EDT

This summer, one of YECA’s top priorities is working to support the Great American Outdoors Act (GAOA). The GAOA is a law that was signed into effect in 2020 to provide funding to maintain public lands as well as establish funds for land/water conservation and our National Parks. One aspect of the GAOA is The National Parks and Public Land Legacy Restoration Fund (GAOA LRF), which funds maintenance projects, and expires this year. Lawmakers are currently working on reauthorizing the GAOA to extend beyond 2025 through the bipartisan America the Beautiful Act. YECA’s Summer of Action participants will be able to use their God given voices and talents to urge Congress to reauthorize the America the Beautiful Act and repair the National Parks and public lands we love.
On top of the EEN trainings, we are excited to host 2 YECA touchpoints throughout the summer:
- Writing Workshop
- June 26 @ 8pm ET/7pm CT/6pm MT/5pm PT
- Practicing Climate Communications
- August 28th @ 8pm ET/7pm CT/6pm MT/5pm PT
