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. RESISTING FASCISM, ONE SUNDAY AT A TIME. 3) Because of the sad passing of our webmaster, Harrison Ward, we have not been able to keep the website up to date.

THE NAME CHANGE IS OFFICIAL: Waco Friends of the Climate




















After multiple votes, the member opinion could not be denied:  a majority wanted to change to Waco Friends of the Climate.  We realize that this will not make everyone happy, but we will act as a democracy dictates.  The major advantages of the new name include:  name reflects our current mission statement, name is easier to write, name is easier to speak, and name will cause less confusion.  We thank all who voted, and respect the view of all who disagreed.  In most places the new name will be present immediately, but other sites will take time.  For now, the website is still friendsofpeace.org, but Facebook is Waco Friends of the Climate.
     
Many thanks to Harrison Ward for website work, and to Adrian Northcutt for digital graphics.
