More Info

We meet a few times a year to support one another and to hear speakers present on other climate-related Jewish/faith outreach efforts.  What can you do to move the needle forward?  Use the five levers of political will to amplify our message.

We have started an action tracker specifically for the Jewish Action Team. Please share your work on reaching out to Jewish leaders and organizations here:
