Have you registered?  Trust us, you don't want to miss this event.  On October 12, you will watch a series of video presentations, emceed by climate activist, Anna Jane Joyner, who was featured in the recent Showtime series, "Years of Living Dangerously."  After the video presentations, IREJN will premiere, AWAKE, a new performance piece by NYC-based director and actor Jennifer Joy.  AWAKE was commissioned by IREJN for the Climate Stewardship Summit, so don't miss it.  After the performance, please join us for an opening reception with vegan, kosher, and halal options.

October 13 will be a full-day conference that will allow attendees to connect deeply with their faith-based story on climate change, learn how to tell it effectively and receive tools and information to take action for climate justice.

More Pictures from the People's Climate March!

 

I could look at pictures from the March all day long!  So, in that spirit, here is a picture from our vegan friends at the March! 

 

Below is a picture from the interfaith service at the March at W58th Street.  Thank you so much to those who have e-mailed me pictures.  I want to create gallery on our website of great photos, so keep them coming.  Please e-mail them to [email protected].

 

 

 

We are not done, however!  This isn't just a march, it's a MOVEMENT!  So register for the Climate Stewardship Summit (see below) TODAY and stay connected with how we move forward from here!
