From Alison Van Dyk, Chair of the Board
We are in challenging and difficult times. Current erosion of environmental protections will increase air and water pollution, threatening our health for generations.
Since 1960, the Temple of Understanding has promoted core moral values within the secular environment of the UN. We are amplifying voices from many faiths to take a stand on issues of food security, the human rights of women regardless of religion or ethnicity, and the protection of our air, water, and sacred natural sites.
Please support our work! Contribute financially,
visit our website at

Roots of Change
with your friends and colleagues
. Your

Whatever your faith, may this season of hope touch each of us with a renewed commitment to justice.
In Gratitude,
Alison
