From Moses to Greta: Leadership Lessons for Facing Up to Climate Change
Join Congregation Har HarShem for our 2023 Symposium on Spirituality and the Environment Sunday November 2nd at 1pm. It is free and open to all. We will have a keynote from an activist in the Jewish community, and then a panel discussion about activism, advocacy, and next steps to live out our values.
The annual Symposium focuses on bringing people together to explore perspectives on environmentalism from faith and spiritual traditions. We bring forward teachers, academics, faith-based activists in dialogue and shared learning. Our hope: greater understanding leading to greater engagement in acts of environmental protection and justice.
If you bank or have credit cards with Chase, Citi, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Capital One, U.S. Bank or other major Wall Street banks — or if you insure your home and/or auto with Liberty Mutual, Travelers, All-State, GEICO, State Farm, some of your money is likely being used to fund, insure or invest in climate destruction.
Learn how to find regional and local community banks, credit unions and credit cards and local, small insurance companies to fund local ventures — not fossil fuel projects.
Divesting from institutions that fund fossil fuels and investing in local communities and renewable clean energy instead is one of the most powerful climate actions we can take. All are welcome!
Program: CCL has crafted this virtual conference with top notch speakers — including Van Jones, CNN commentator, social entrepreneur and renowned author — and dynamic sessions to help us learn how to advocate for national climate policy.
