Interfaith Coalition for Earth Justice (ICEJ) is a volunteer organization of San Diego faith leaders and communities that 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.

The ICEJ event The Kumeyaay Vision of Earth Justice: An Interview with Bobby Wallace and Sarahmarie Llyemewaa Redfern which we held on Thurs. June 27 was recorded and is now available in two forms: a 6 minute version and the full version (which went a little over 1.5 hours).  They are both available for viewing at the link below.

And many thanks to all of you who came out for the event--we hope you enjoyed it and learned from it.  Thanks also to our panelists: Bobby Wallace, Sarah Redfern, and Billy Ortiz (it was a pleasure to work with you all!) and to our moderator Rev. Beth Johnson (it was great to see you, Beth!!).  We also thank our venue the Southeastern Live Well Center for providing the space.  Lastly, many thanks to all the ICEJ volunteers and staff, our videographer, friends who helped get the word out--everyone who made this happen.
