Organizations endorsing the Call to Action include Habitat for Humanity International, the World Evangelical Alliance, Future Faith, the Pakistan Climate Alliance, the University of Pretoria Centre for Faith and Community, The Seattle School of Theology & Psychology, Parish Collective, Micah Global, and Relèven, among others.
