CALIFORNIA: WE RISE

California can lead on climate action

With the federal government fully captured by corporate polluters, it’s on states like California to lead the way on climate action. We’re organizing Jewish communities across California to advocate for investments in clean energy, ensure an end to neighborhood drilling, and help make sure fossil fuel corporations pay their fair share.

MAKE POLLUTERS PAY Jewish clergy send letter in support of climate superfund

January 2026: One year after the LA fires, California Rabbis, Cantors, and Jewish clergy students published an open letter calling for fossil fuel polluters to be held accountable.

We know that our state faces escalating climate impacts that demand bold action. Further delay puts our communities and our futures in peril. For the wellbeing and protection of all of our communities, and all life, we call on you to pass a Polluters Pay Climate Superfund. We call on you to act now to ensure a livable planet so that all people may continue to live and thrive l’dor v’dor, from generation to generation.”

Dayenu and The Religious Action Center: California gathered dozens of signatures on the letter.

TAKE ACTION: coming in 2026

In California, we know: Climate change is here. The cost of the Los Angeles fires alone is likely to exceed $250 billion. Right now California taxpayers unfairly shoulder the cost of climate disasters – while big fossil fuel polluters continue to rake in profits and worsen the crisis.

It’s time for California to pass the Polluters Pay Climate Superfund Bill, which will make the world’s biggest fossil fuel polluters pay their fair share to cover the costs of climate damages in our state. 

The Polluters Pay Climate Superfund Bill (SB 684/ AB 1243) will protect Californians and help lower costs by funding critical climate solutions, including transitioning to clean energy and building disaster resilience, sustainable infrastructure, and support for workers and communities suffering from climate disasters.
