Join Interfaith Power & Light (DC.MD.NoVA) and faith communities across our region on 8/11 at 7pm for this webinar to learn about the data center threat to our communities, reflect on how we are called to respond, and connect with grassroots leaders in local data center fights. RSVP: bit.ly/rw-aug11

Please note: mimicking our extraordinary multi-faith movement speaking out against the harms of data centers in MD is actually harder than it sounds: 1st, you need to belong to a congregation you can name. Then, you need multi-faith allies who are proud to be your partners.

"It isn’t AI that is deciding to place data centers in overburdened Black & brown communities; it is people who hope to profit ... who probably live in other neighborhoods & wouldn’t want this infrastructure located where they and their children live." — Joshua Long in @baltimoresun.bsky.social

Woodlawn residents deserve a say on proposed data center | GUEST COMMENTARY

Opinion: Woodlawn resident Joshua Long writes that he and his neighbors should have a say on whether a data center is built in his community.

We’ve been working hard in MD to electrify our congregations and homes and shift to clean energy. We need all the help we can get, especially as federal incentives have been taken away, and the EmPOWER program makes all the difference. HB 1532, the Utility RELIEF Act, may put this program at risk.

🚨🚨🚨 Solar panels do so much good for our congregations and communities, and the Affordable Solar Act would make that more possible. But now, some House leaders aren’t sure anymore that there’s enough support to move this bill this session.

We need your help. 🚨🚨🚨 Please join us in speaking out against HB 1532, the Utility RELIEF Act -- which delegates plan to vote on Tuesday! -- which would drastically cut funding for EmPOWER Maryland, a key program that helps us undertake energy upgrades in our congregations and our homes. 🚨🚨🚨

Environmental groups rallied Thursday to protect the Strategic Energy Investment Fund, a utility-funded program created to help cut power bills and lower greenhouse gas emissions, but increasingly used by state officials to balance the state budget. marylandmatters.org/2026/02/26/p...

“You serve US, the breathing public!” IPL-DMV director Joelle Novey spoke Tuesday at a rally outside DC’s PSC to demand they stop Washington Gas’ dangerous Project Pipes plan. We say NO to more gas infrastructure that harms our communities and our right to breathe clean air!

Today we joined Rev. Dell Hinton and partners from the Clean Heat Coalition to call on @govwesmoore.bsky.social to finalize strong Clean Heat Rules. We all deserve to breathe clean air at home, and it’s time to replace polluting fuel-burning furnaces w/efficient heat pumps. marylandcleanheat.org

"What is my prediction for the end of the world?" Rev. Laura Martin asks at the Faith Alliance for Climate Solutions (FACS) awards event. "I believe the world has already ended ... and begun again, and will over and over."

On Earth Day, our Director Joelle closed a multi-faith gathering on Capitol Hill with this song by Sarina Partridge:  "But don't you hear them too, the voices cutting through the despair saying: 'We need you there, in the belly of the beast, singing, singing, singing–  through times such as these."
