Georgia Interfaith Power & Light (GIPL) was founded in 2003 by Rev. Woody and C arol Bartlett as part of the national Interfaith Pow er & Light movement.
They believed strongly that faith communities have the power to change the world, and a mandate to care for the Sacred Earth and all its inhabitants. They envisioned a Georgia where all people would live safely in a healthy environment, a stable climate, and resilient communities.
Today, GIPL’s purpose is to live out this vision. Our purpose is to inspire and equip people of faith to engage the issues of climate change, environmental injustices, pollution, and resource depletion in pursuit of a society in which every living thing can flourish. We are a collaborative, interfaith organization that exists at the intersection of environment, science, and faith.
We advocate for the responsible use and protection of the natural environment, building an interconnected relationship with nature so that all may flourish.
We strive for the equitable treatment of all people on Sacred Earth, as well as the enactment and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies to that end.
We believe our vision will only be achieved through communities that are well-connected, diverse, and rooted in action.

Action Alert! 🚨 Don’t let your civic participation end at the polls! On Nov. 9, the U.S. Senate is scheduled to reconvene and Senators Warnock and Ossoff will be expected to vote on a number of bills. The “Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act” or BAAJA is a massive 417 page bill that would prevent communities from weighing in on projects by removing opportunities for public comment, reducing transparency, and gives the fossil fuel industry a ramp to build quicker with funds from taxpayers! Act Now and tell your legislators to vote NO on BAAJA at gipl.org/actnow You can sign up to learn more about this bill during GIPL’s Post-Election Debrief.
