Chutzpah is Dayenu’s signature non-partisan effort to mobilize climate-concerned voters to get to the polls and ensure every policymaker has the chutzpah to deliver urgent action on climate.Â
It’s about empowering voters to participate in the political system and building people power to counter the deep pockets of corporate polluters. It’s about building the Jewish climate movement to win a just and livable future.Â
Dayenu has opportunities to knock on the doors of voters in two critical states! We’ll be talking to voters in the Milwaukee area in Wisconsin and Austin, Texas.

Join us to help to make sure Chutzpah 2024 mobilizes climate voters across the country! You can cosponsor a shift, host your own “phone bank in a box” shift, or play another key front-of-room role.
This guide features 18 daily practices, including writing prompts, action opportunities, reflections, and Jewish teachings to guide us as we enter the homestretch to Election Day.
With the stakes so high, now is the time to ensure that every climate-concerned voter makes it to the polls. Our goals are to:
Dayenu partners with the Environmental Voter Project to harness its superior targeting and technology. We recruit and train volunteers from our grassroots Dayenu Circle network and allied Jewish organizations and communities.
We deliver results. In 2020 and 2022, Dayenu organized dozens of partners and mobilized more than 1,000 Jewish volunteers to contact over a million climate-concerned voters. In 2024, we’re poised for even greater impact.
Rooted in spirit and meaning. As with everything we do, we bring Jewish spirit and wisdom to our work. Our regular phonebanking sessions feature kavanot (short inspiring teachings), live musical performances, and community-building. We aim to nourish our souls and our movement for the work ahead of us.
Big Oil spends millions to elect politicians who will do their bidding. Dayenu wants to empower every eligible voter to get to the polls this November. We need policymakers at every level of government who represent the interests of everyday people, not just corporate polluters.
We have a narrow window. As the climate crisis accelerates, time is growing short to make the big, systemic changes we need to avert the worst of global catastrophe. We need to slash fossil fuel emissions and invest in clean energy to safeguard the future for us all.
We need every eligible voter to cast a ballot for a just and livable future. One where everyone can not only survive, but thrive.
We are mobilizing our people and our moral might to realize our vision. It will take all of us, and a whole lotta chutzpah. Join us.
