GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE CAMPAIGNS:

An Inconvenient Truth Screenings

An Inconvenient Truth is being screened in 4000 faith based institutions across the country as part of Interfaith Power and Light’s Regeneration Campaign. We encourage all Jewish institutions screening the film to use the opportunity to introduce the “Light Among the Nations” campaign and to help move their congregations from environmental rhetoric to environmental action.
