Action Team

Welcome to the Jewish Team. We are energizing the Jewish Community to take bold action on climate change. Just as Jewish leaders played a pivotal role in the civil rights movement, we believe Jews can and will step forward today on the climate crisis.
Yonatan Malin is the action team leader; Rich Scissors and Phyllis LeFevre are on the steering committee.
