Starting conversations to connect people, sectors, and campaigns; developing the needed attitudes and skills, focusing the "power of the people" on the best solutions to get us out of the mess and headed into a livable future.
Quakers are "called to be patterns and examples in a 21st century campaign for peace and ecojustice, as difficult and decisive as the 18th and 19th century drive to abolish slavery."
– The Kabarak Call for Peace and Ecojustice, 2012
The Climate Movement continues to expand and evolve in every country across the globe. By some estimates there are now hundreds of thousands of faith-based and other non-profit organizations, large and small, in every country in the world, seeking to drive collective and sustainable action to mitigate the climate crisis. You can help grow the climate movement by actively engaging with an organization advocating for science-based climate policies and climate change solutions, and addressing concerns of climate breakdown, economic and climate justice, human rights and depletion of natural resources.
In addition to advocating for climate initiatives advanced by FCNL and other Quaker organizations, Friends have almost endless opportunities to partner with other groups who are involved in the climate justice movement if so led. Some of these organizations exist entirely to create connections and partnerships between various climate organizations and climate justice advocacy groups (see The Climate Action Network). Others have the mission of training and preparing climate activists to take the most effective actions or leadership roles in the movement (see Pachamama or The Climate Reality Project).
As Friends, we know the power of peaceful protest and social activism. And when our voices, intentions and actions are united with millions of others around the world, we create a movement that is inclusive, impactful, and impossible to ignore. Whether you are only able to add your name to a petition (see Earthday.org) or you are looking to get yourself or your Meeting involved in a particular environmental concern, you will find resources to help you, below.
