Interfaith Coalition for Earth Justice (ICEJ) is a volunteer organization of San Diego faith leaders and communities that serve to advocate for climate and environmental justice both in policy and in the public square. We believe that the values held in common by all faith traditions include the care for creation and care for the most vulnerable in society.

Dear Friend in Faith,

In the past fifty years two million people have died from extreme weather events most of which were exacerbated by climate change.  Many more will die if we do not transition speedily to renewable energy.  From 2016-2022 four big US banks - Bank of America, Chase, Citibank, and Wells Fargo – have poured over one trillion dollars into the fossil fuel industry enabling its extraction and burning of the dirty energy that drives climate change.  THIS MUST STOP!!  

To protest this blood money and honor those who have died (most of whom are from developing nations), a memorial service and protest will be held before each of these four banks while processing with a (mock) coffin to symbolize the mounting casualties and the banks’ culpability.  On Monday, November 13 at 11 AM, we will meet before Bank of America at 655 W. Broadway in downtown San Diego and march to the other three.  Please register below for this crucial witness.

This event is sponsored by the Interfaith Coalition for Earth Justice and partners including GreenFaith, SanDiego350, Third Act So Cal, and CleanEarth4Kids. 

For more information, contact Phil Petrie at phil@icejsd.org.
