Advocacy
Hope for Creation is involved in efforts to create systemic change, which is desperately needed as our planet continues to warm at record rates. We advocate for a shift in state and national policy to prioritize climate action. Whether it is speaking at our local city commission advocating for a switch to solar (which they did), making phone calls to our representatives, or participating in marches and protests, we recognize that systemic change is absolutely vital to the future of our planet. Below are some opportunities to join this effort.

Let’s Make a Splash: Protect Our Water, Break a Record!
Water is the lifeblood of our region. The Great Lakes are where it all begins, containing 84% of North America’s surface fresh water. We all know how important it is to keep these lakes clean, and that's why we can't let Enbridge’s dangerous Line 5 pipeline continue to threaten waterways, and so much more.
But here’s the good news: We’re about to do something BIG (and fun!)
We’re setting out to break the record for the largest display of origami fish, and we want YOU to be part of it! Each paper fish represents our shared commitment to protecting the Great Lakes, and we’re asking everyone to jump in and help us flood the world with these powerful symbols.
Here's how you can make an impact:
-
Create your origami fish (and share your story) as a personal pledge to protect our water.
-
Join the movement by attending one of our events or spreading the word online.
-
Take action by calling on decision-makers to shut down Line 5 once and for all.
No matter where you live, we all have something in common: we all need clean water. We know there’s a better future in store by shutting down Line 5. So, let’s have a little fun while we make a big difference. Join us to break the record and show the world that we’re united in protecting our waterways and shutting down Line 5 – once and for all.
