March to End Fossil Fuels

Join us on the second day of Rosh Hashanah, September 17, as we pray with our feet at the March to End Fossil Fuels.

The United Nations is calling on world leaders to take real steps to lead us off fossil fuels to protect people and the planet. On September 20th in New York, the UN Climate Ambition Summit will gather world leaders to commit to phasing out fossil fuels. Thousands of us will take to the streets before the summit to demand President Biden take bold action to end fossil fuels.
