Religious Action Center - Conservation Conversations

Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism

"Conservation Conversations: Invite your Elected Official to Synagogue" aims to engage elected officials (e.g., senators, congresspersons, governors, state representatives, mayors, etc...) in meaningful conversation around the issue of climate change.

Congregations will invite their elected officials to their synagogues to discuss and debate the national, regional, state, and local actions that can be taken to curb this trend.

This campaign will spark congregations to launch their own advocacy campaign around this crucial issue.
