Social Action

We just wrapped up our D.C. Day of Action and want to let you know how it went and what you can do next. Hundreds of leaders from across the Reform Movement came together to build connections, learn about how to advance the Power for Purpose Campaign, and advocated for climate justice with Members of Congress and Marianne Engelmann-Lado from the Environmental Protection Agency. We also got a clear commitment for the EPA to stay engaged with us, including through a meeting at the end of the summer when we can strengthen our call for climate justice. That means we need to move many people into action over the summer so we can come to that meeting with the power of thousands.

Here’s how you can add your voice to the hundreds who acted for climate justice this week:

Join our next Power for Purpose Zoom event on June 8 at 8 PM ET. During this gathering, we will make comments on the latest climate regulations and learn about how to answer difficult questions about our climate justice work. This event is open to all, and no experience is necessary.
Submit a Message to the White House Today. On Wednesday evening, we submitted comments calling for less Mercury pollution in the air and water. If you did not get a chance to submit a comment, now is your chance. If you did, please share this action with people in your networks.

When we join together to call on our nation’s leaders to act, we make change happen. We look forward to taking continued action together with the Power for Purpose Campaign.

Fundraising

Scrip activity is off to a good start for 2023!

Thank you for the 22 orders for the month of April -- We earned $371 for Or Chadash with those orders for plastic cards as well as eGift Cards.

Next deadline for ordering plastic gift cards is Thursday, June 15th.

SCRIP INSPIRATION

Check this out:

One family ordering $500 of ShopRite scrip each month for a year = $240 earnings for OC.
That means if 50 families ordered $500 of ShopRite scrip each month for a year, that would be $12,000 earnings for OC!

So let's do it!

Please consider regular scrip purchases like this.

It would be AMAZING for Or Chadash!
