Esther Spoke Truth to Power. You can Speak Truth About Power
Speak Up for Climate Solutions Proposed in the Maryland General Assembly
On Purim, laughter eases the fear that Jews feel about the many threats we have faced during our history. Climate change is scary too, but if we meet the challenge together by advocating for practical solutions, we can triumph like the Jews of Shushan.
The Climate Action Team calls on you to speak up like Esther. Esther spent an entire year in the harem getting ready to meet the king. The Maryland legislative session only lasts 3 months, so we don’t have time for that!
Join us for a Climate Legislation Virtual Briefing on Sunday, February 26. You’ll learn about the exciting climate bills that will be considered in the Maryland General Assembly this year: Energy Savings Act; Make Community Solar Permanent; Clean Trucks Act; and Maryland the Beautiful Act. This briefing will feature Delegates Sara Love and Lorig Charkoudian.
Then, at the Adat Shalom Purim Carnival and Megillah Reading, we’ll invite young and old, in costume or not, to send messages to their MD state delegates and senators. Will you help out at the booths? Sign up here.
Watch this spot for more exciting opportunities to follow Esther’s example. King Ahasuerus declared a tax holiday for the entire kingdom in Esther’s honor (Esther 2:18.) Maybe the General Assembly will do the same for you!
