Earthcare
Quakers believe in equality, peace, and stewardship of the earth. We work to increase ecological sustainability and promote environmental justice.
Friends believe that our future depends on a spiritual transformation in our relationships with each other and the natural world. This belief has led NYC Quakers to take these actions:
Protests
Quakers have participated in all of the major climate marches. One recent major demonstration was the March to End Fossil Fuels in September 2023, timed to coincide with the United Nations General Assembly.
Involvement in Earthcare Witness
Quaker Earthcare Witness is a dynamic, powerful community of Friends taking Spirit-led action to care for the planet and all living things.
Climate Cafes
NYC Quakers host organizing meetings like the biweekly Climate Cafe. This community helps activists face their climate anxiety and connects them to impactful local organizing. By sharing their feelings about the climate crisis, participants avoid burnout and increase camaraderie. For more climate cafes in NYC, click here.
