Different cultures and people of various faiths worldwide have been celebrating this celestial event for millennia.

Too Many People Have Already Died from Climate Cha Too Many People Have Already Died from Climate Change While the Banks Which Fund It Rack Up Further Profits. THIS MUST STOP!!! On Monday, Nov. 13, members of the Interfaith Coalition for Earth Justice and other orgs held a funeral procession in downtown San Diego for our climate dead. We stopped at each of the four big fossil fuel funding banks–Bank of America, Chase, Citibank, and Wells Fargo–to call them out. Members of the Indigenous, Jewish, Buddhist, Muslim and Christian faiths offered prayers and rituals from their traditions. People of faith say no to fossil fuel investment–it’s against our religions!! #climatechange #interfaith #climateaction #fossilfree
