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.

TAKE ACTION NOW: Rooftop Solar at the Silos

Please join us in strongly encouraging Chip and Joanna to install solar panels on their empire in Waco.  The City of Waco is in the process of approving about $1 million in TIF funds for Magnolia.  At a recent Council meeting we have requested that the City require Magnolia to do rooftop solar in order to receive these TIF funds.  And if the City cannot legally require this, that the City strongly insist that they install a photovoltaic system.  To reinforce this, we ask that each member send a message to the Magnolia folks also requesting they do a solar installation.  Given the large following of Magnolia, we think it likely that homeowners in Waco would follow their example and a burst of rooftop solar could ensue.  So please take just 3 minutes and ask Chip/Joanna to do the right thing and install solar.  This would be a win for Magnolia, the City of Waco, and the climate.  Here is the link to the message form:
