Across the country, Jewish communities are joining with neighbors of all faiths this spring to call on seven big banks to stop investing in fossil fuels and invest more in renewable energy. The fossil fuel industry has grown rich from polluting our air and water. These polluters’ enormous wealth gives them power over our political process, and they have little incentive to change their core business model: extraction.

We’ll gather in DC on Wednesday morning of Passover week, with friends from IPL-DMV’s Jewish Climate Action Network DMV and the Temple Rodef Shalom Dayenu Circle to bring our message directly to DC offices of BlackRock and Chase Bank.

We will meet at Triangle Park in front of the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church. After delivering our messages to the nearby offices of Chase and BlackRock, we will return to the park, where those who wish can gather for a picnic lunch, and a reading of selections from the Exodus Alliance’s “street seder” written for this interfaith Sacred Season of Climate Justice by Rabbi Arthur Waskow.
