Join the Green Team... at The People's Climate March

(With its arctic ice habitat shrinking and expected to disappear completely
later this century, the polar bear has become a symbol of climate change
and the desperation of those faced with its ravages.)

Green Team—Temple Emanuel’s environmental working group, formerly known as Green Shalom—is back in action!
Our first activities of the new year will be preparation for and participation in two upcoming protest marches, the Science March on Saturday April 22 and the People’s Climate March on Saturday, April 29.

Climate change is one of the greatest challenges humanity has ever faced. The People’s Climate March will protest the new administration’s climate change denial and its emerging policies, which threaten to undermine national and global progress in climate change mitigation and adaptation. It is a march for climate, justice, and jobs. It advocates not only for the planet we share—and the only one we will ever have—but also for justice and economic issues associated with its degradation.

Temple Emanuel is an official supporter of the People’s Climate March. In a partnership with Interfaith Power and Light, we plan to join other Jewish communities in protest. Green Team or not, all Temple Emanuel members are invited to support the People’s Climate March in any way they can. Here are a few ideas:

• Attend the march on Saturday, April 29, either on your own or as part of Temple Emanuel’s “delegation”.
  
  
• Host an out-of-town family attending the March. Use the following link to visit the hospitality page for our local Interfaith Power and Light affiliate: Click Here
  
  
• Join a sign-making party at Temple Emanuel (HaMakom) on Monday, April 24 at 7pm. If you can’t come, you can donate white poster board and markers!

We hope to see many of you at these events! If you have any questions,
