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.

Climate Change Art Show Second Peoples' Choice Award

We are pleased to announce the 2nd Peoples' Choice Award winner:

                        Shawn Knuckles
                        We Have Crossed THAT Bridge, 2019
                        Oil on canvas
                        107cm X 133cm

You will recall that we announced the 1st Peoples' Choice winner at the Show reception in September.  But since the Show extended through October, we did a 2nd Peoples' Choice to allow new visitors to vote and to further recognize our artists.

Shawn's piece also won 1st place in the judging of the show.  It's clear that his entry appeals to the professional artist judges, the scientist judges and the general public.

Congratulations to Shawn. And we congratulate all artists for recognizing the critical importance of the climate crisis and thus applying their talent to help combat this existential danger.
