Laudate Deum brings much needed attention to the climate injustices still prevalent throughout our common home. In line with the core message of Laudate Deum, Our Season of Creation campaign shone on a spotlight on the prayers and actions of our network in fighting climate justice through our #PrayingForYou campaign. The video exhibit highlights "Places of Injustice" linked to climate damages and socio-ecological impacts through the global production of thematic “climate injustices” through messages, documentary videos, and other digital arts. Vulnerable people become a living letter to their governments by denouncing injustice and claiming climate justice.
