Santa Cruz Interfaith Dayenu Circle: A Climate Action Group


Our interfaith partner groups value stewardship of the Earth and recognize that the impact of our climate actions can be amplified when we come together as people of faith. 

Our Circle now includes members from Baha’i, Buddhist, Catholic, Christian, Islamic, Jewish, Methodist, Presbyterian, Quaker and Unitarian congregations!

Our group is affiliated with the national organization Dayenu, a Jewish Call to Climate Action. We also draw support from other faith-based climate action groups, such as Greenfaith and Interfaith Power and Light.

Our Vision Statement

We, the Santa Cruz Interfaith Dayenu Circle, moved by compassion, grounded in our respective faiths, and bringing the power and promise of our collaboration, fully step into our responsibility as stewards of the earth. 

We find joy in addressing climate justice and we cultivate and nurture hope through thoughtful action, outreach and education.

We are inspired to work for a life-affirming, resilient and equitable future by our youth and are guided by the wisdom of our elders.
