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.

Waco Friends of the Climate: February Virtual BUSINESS MEETING

Date:  Thursday, February 4, 2021
Time:  6:00pm until approx. 7:30pm
Site:  on line with link:   https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87448743438
Details:

  • All members & supporters are strongly encouraged to attend.  We hope for a larger group than at our last zoom meeting.
  • Most members are familiar with zoom meetings.  However, if not, it is extremely simple.  Just use the link to reach the site.  You will be admitted from the waiting room.  It is suggested that you turn your video ON to create a more realistic meeting.  (If you wish for your video to be OFF that's fine also). Please mute your audio until you wish to speak. 
  • The Styrofoam Collection Event April 3 will require more volunteers and we will have a slightly different procedure in April after discussion with Dart Corporation.  We need volunteers, so please attend this meeting.
  • Epilogue to 4th Annual Climate Crisis Art Exhibit.  If you have not seen the show, only a couple of weeks remain:  climatecrisisartexhibit.org 
  • Other topics include:  Earth Day Reusable Bag Distribution, ongoing Go Renewable Waco campaign (at City Council), outdoor table event April 11
  • An informative climate science presentation will be included.  
  • New campaign proposals:  your ideas are encouraged and welcome. 
Please add this virtual meeting to your calendar now:  it is vital that we maintain our cohesion.  Although federal climate policy will improve this year, grassroots work remains crucial.  

Thanks for your commitment to action on the climate crisis.  Although no issue is more important, climate is often neglected locally, even by progressives.  We must continue to spread awareness, through our conversations and the example we set through action.
