"Judaism teaches that humankind are sojourners on this Earth. The Earth is our home, but it does not belong to us; it belongs to God. Together with the world's other religious traditions we believe that we have been entrusted with the sacred responsibility of caring for this home. Here in Washington, I-1631 is our best opportunity to affirm this responsibility. That's why I am deeply honored to join my rabbinic colleagues and other clergy in Washington in endorsing I-1631."

“JCJ is dedicated to the cause of environmental justice, from combating the negative impacts of climate change to ensuring clean air and water to protecting vulnerable populations most affected by environmental injustices.The Book of Genesis shows our obligation to act as stewards of the earth, a moral mandate that drives our support of practices and policies that maximize our ability to protect the environment. With this in mind, we are supporting I1631 on the November ballot.”
