Yom Kippur apology statement from summit organizers
Dear friends:
In recent days it was brought to our attention that this upcoming summit, Water Is Life: Strengthening the Great Lakes Commons, is taking place at the same time that Yom Kippur begins.
We apologize for this untimely planning. Progressive members of the Jewish community are long-term supporters and water warriors in this work for the human right to water and protection of the Great Lakes Basin. We have issued a public apology statement regarding this and intend to follow up closely with Jewish water allies in the coming weeks.
Sincerely,
The Water Is Life summit planning committee
