Changes in public policies are needed to undo the harm that has been done to our environment, specifically the Chesapeake Bay, and to work towards a more sustainable future.

People of faith have a special calling to bring their insights and values into the public forum. IPC is here to help you bring your voice to bear in advocating for stewardship of God’s Creation.
