Important Announcements

CURRENT INFORMATION: go to our Facebook group "Waco Friends of the Climate." 1) Beginning Jan. 2025, our focus has been on resistance to Donald Trump, since his policies are our greatest threat to the climate. Thus, we are not having monthly meetings at this time. We hope to hold monthly meetings in the future. Visit our Facebook group for current activities, Waco Friends of the Climate. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1330231820335851 2) Our role in the resistance includes a weekly protest at the pedestrian bridge in Waco, Valley Mills Dr. & Bagby Avenue, each Sunday, 1:00pm-2:30pm. We began the protest in March 2025 and it has been carried on weekly for over one year. We provide huge, highly visible banners. Please join us.

Elementary School Book Donation


The Waco Friends of Peace began our  CLIMATE BOOK DONATION program to 20 area elementary schools on July 9th.  Buried Sunlight will be delivered or mailed to these local school libraries.  As the UN Climate Education Program has noted, education of the children about anthropogenic climate disruption (ACD) is an important part of the battle against climate change.  The text has an appropriately optimistic tone, is beautifully illustrated, and has the “Scholastic” imprint.


Thanks to all our members who volunteered to help distribute these books.  We will continue this effort until all elementary schools in the area have been included.


 Email to anorthc@aol.com to be placed on the Friends of Peace email list.
