Georgia Interfaith Power & Light

Power-hungry data centers are driving Georgia Power to build more expensive, dirty gas plants, while Georgia families are paying over $500 more a year on their power bills. 😡

But here’s the thing: data centers can’t vote. YOU can. The Georgia Public Service Commission helps make decisions that impact your power bills, and two seats are on the ballot this November.

Last Saturday, we gathered with Adamah ATL and Georgians for the Okefenokee for an interfaith Swamp Shabbat/Sabbath gathering at the edge of the Okefenokee Swamp.

After the service, we took a boat tour through the swamp, experiencing firsthand the beauty and ecological richness of Georgia’s first and only UNESCO World Heritage site.

We're grateful for opportunities to gather in interfaith community, and for such beautiful and unique natural wonders!

Special thanks to our facilitator and pianist Min. Julian Reid and vocalist Tramaine Parker for helping us ground rhythms of grace, restoration, and the land.
