COEJL’s kudos goes to @EPA for ensuring cleaner air and water, protecting public health, and limiting climate-changing emissions by issuing the needed Power Plant Rules that are achievable, ambitious, and consonant with core Jewish values​: https://t.co/LkDPoET7gC

📅 We will meet at 10 AM in the Capitol Visitor Center SVC 201 on Thu., April 18: light refreshments will be served, and programming will begin promptly at 10. We look forward to seeing you there to reflect around the successes of 2023, and project our hopes for years to come!

We are proud to join our Jewish and Faith partners in celebrating #EarthDay, recommitting to the care of our shared planet, and standing with faith leaders, activists, and policy officials at the place where decisions are made to protect and preserve the Earth 🌎

And we hope you can make it to our very own, Rabbi Fred Scherlinder Dobb’s session on Sunday at 4:30pm ET for a meaningful conversation about Eco-Mussar: How Torah Goads and Guides Toward What’s Good and Green!

Join COEJL and our Jewish Partners Sunday-Tuesday for The Climate Crisis: a Limmud Festival of Jewish Ideas! This virtual symposium includes three days of GREAT, GREEN Torah, discussing the Jewish response for a changing planet:

#MultiFaithHighLevelForum: Rabbi Daniel Swartz, Exec. Director, Coalition on the Environment and Jewish Life: “We understand that there are different ways that we are connected that go beyond the ecological & physical…that among the dimension of connections is love.”

“Our commitment to protect all of creation continues to guide us: we are told to ‘do the right and the good’ as holiness gets expressed through action. The administration’s action is huge, and more can be done to address climate challenges.” – Rabbi Fred Dobb, Rabbinic Consultant

“These standards will cut over 7 billion tons of carbon emissions, create stronger protections for the health and safety of all our communities, and support BIPOC and other marginalized groups that bear the full brunt of our climate crisis.” - Israel Harris, Advocacy Director

Lives will be saved, public health and climate goals advanced, and harmful pollution abated due to the @EPA’s new light-duty #CleanCars standards. COEJL is grateful to the agency and @POTUS for this important step toward environmental and climate justice #RouteZero:

We will continue to hold @POTUS and the @EPA accountable to protecting our Earth, Creation, and our shared world - present and future!

During the #SOTU2024 tonight at 9 p.m. ET, we’re discussing the #StateOfTheClimate and @POTUS’s climate and clean energy plan here on X (Twitter)! Follow along! 🌎 👏 🌍 👏 🌏 — @actonclimateUS

Like many Jewish, faith, and secular partners, we are grateful and will continue to work with advocates from across the country to ensure a world, present and future, where the @EPA, @POTUS, and our communities protect our health and environment.

Last week, we celebrated the @EPA’s new soot standard and #SolutionsForPollution, which will better prioritize the health and safety of our planet, its in habitants, and all of God’s creation, including Communities of Color who bear the brunt of our climate crisis.

Take action through Feb. 2nd!Submit a comment for a proposed nation-wide amendment to federal forest plans that can end mature and old-growth logging projects on national land, once and for all -- but only if it’s done right!

“Trees aren’t just about carbon sequestration, erosion protection, biodiversity. Trees aren’t just about beauty, majesty, symbolic contemplation. Trees are about democracy, human rights, your life, mine, and our grandkids” - COEJL’s #TuBishvat reflection:

Happy Sh’vat, Jewish Earth Month! This year, on #TuBishvat (our new year for the trees), join COEJL, the Climate Forest Campaign, and others by advocating to protect #OldGrowth trees and forests! It takes just a few minutes - learn more here: https://t.co/XJSRQNGkkT

As @coejl enters the #NewYear with a renewed mission of working toward a cleaner and safer future, we ask for your support. In 2024, help us bring the weight of the Jewish community toward the pursuit of justice and responsibility:

Let’s remain committed, together, for the protection of each and every human being, all of us created in the Divine image – and for the planet we must safeguard, and all creatures great and small with whom we share it.
