7:00 PM - 8:30 PM
Dayenu: A Jewish Call to Climate Action, organized in 2020, is a movement of American Jews confronting the climate crisis with spiritual audacity and bold political action in order to secure a just, livable and sustainable world for all people for generations to come. The belief is that by drawing from our Jewish tradition, experience and faith, we have the power to create real and lasting change. Dayenu strongly believes in grassroots leadership and partnering with other organizations and efforts — within and beyond the Jewish community. Part of this effort is a growing network of Dayenu Circles, like the one we’ve started at Temple Beth El.
Vicki will give us some background about Dayenu and will talk about the role of Dayenu Circles in promoting climate action. She will also provide an update on Dayenu’s current campaign, With All Our Might (Bechol M’odecha), which promotes actions to help the Jewish community invest in a just and livable future.
Vicki Kaplan is an organizer, activist, and campaigner committed to movement-building and anti-racism. Before joining Dayenu, she was Organizing Director and campaigner at MoveOn from 2012-2020, where she oversaw organizing programs, mobilizations, and election campaigns that engaged and developed the leadership of tens of thousands of activists. Prior to MoveOn, Vicki worked with communities around the country to shut down dirty coal plants, was a labor and human rights organizer in the midwest, and campaigned to protect water as a public resource.
