Dayenu protested in front of Chase Bank in Ann Arbor.

Dayenu Holds Protest

On April 20, Jewish leaders from Dayenu: A Jewish Call to Climate Action, Jewish Youth Climate Movement (JYCM), The Shalom Center, MI Interfaith Power and Light, and more gathered in front of the Ann Arbor office of Chase Bank to demand that JPMorgan Chase take immediate action to end their investments in polluting fossil fuels. Emphasizing the urgency of the moment and lifting up the symbols of Passover, community leaders proclaimed the plagues that fossil fuel “Pharaohs” — coal, oil and gas companies — have inflicted. They held up matzah to demonstrate the urgency needed to confront the climate crisis and urged Chase to “move their dough”’ out of polluting fossil fuels.
