Climate Advocacy Group – Dayenu Circle

Join Coastal Roots Farm for their new Dayenu Circle, a monthly advocacy group rooted in Jewish values and hope-filled climate action.

Together with Dayenu Circles across the US, we are fighting to pass an important and winnable CA initiative: the CA Climate Superfund Bill (SB 684/AB 1243), or “Make Polluters Pay.” The Polluters Pay Superfund Bill will make the Big Oil and Gas companies that have made trillions in profits in California pay their fair share when climate emergencies strike our state.
