chutzpah 2025

We did it! Hundreds of volunteers called thousands of climate voters ahead of election day.

Together, we mobilized climate voters who refuse to let authoritarianism shake our democracy.

The scale of the climate crisis demands leaders who will protect our communities, not fossil fuel executives’ profits. That means building a powerful, engaged bloc of voters who turn out in every election at every level of government, especially in places where Black, Brown, Indigenous, and low-income communities have been systematically excluded from the democratic process.

That’s the spirit of Chutzpah: showing up, making calls, voting together, and building our movement for bold climate action.

"It felt great to walk someone through the process of requesting a mail ballot online, sending it in by the deadline, and reminding her it was a really important election for the environment -- to which she said, 'for sure!'"

"As someone deeply connected to nature, I believe climate justice is essential, especially for the most vulnerable communities who are the ones most affected by climate change. That's why I'm phonebanking—to ensure that those who care about our planet vote this November."

"My favorite calls were to a woman who'd moved from Virginia to Florida, but had evacuated to Colorado! She'll vote when she gets back home. Then I spoke to a young man who will be voting for the first time!"

"I just had a guy talk about how his whole community has a big barbecue with 'beans and everything' and they all go vote early!"

"Just had a great call with someone who moved recently and needed help finding their polling location. They were grateful for the information and very kind!"

"The Torah commands us to do this kind of thing. To try to find justice in the world. And climate justice is one of the big ones. What have you got to lose?"

"The framing with Jewish values [at the beginning] and songs [at the end] has really elevated the experience of calling voters to feel more communal, uplifting, and meaningful."
