Dear Friends,

The People's Climate March is just a few days away! Quakers ​ are traveling from all over the country to join us in demanding ​ action. About 40-50 people will spend Friday and Saturday nights ​ at the meeting house and we are looking forward to a substantial ​ Quaker presence at the march, as well as other events throughout ​ the weekend. (For example, the Earth Quaker Action Team is ​ planning an action Saturday morning against PNC bank: http://eqat.org/why-pnc-bank.)

The march:

Faith groups will gather Sunday morning on 58th Street ​ between 8th and 9th Avenues. We have been asked to enter on the ​ 9th Avenue side. There will be two contingents traveling from Brooklyn​ Meeting: one group will leave the Meeting ​ House at 10am in order to attend a multi-faith worship service ​ from 11-12. Another contingent will attend the 11am meeting for ​ worship at Brooklyn Meeting and leave together as soon as it is ​ over, shortly after 12. Others will travel individually and meet ​ us in Manhattan. Quakers will be on the north side of the block, ​ closer to 8th Ave.

Organizers expect the faith contingent to join the march some ​ time between 12:30 and 1:30pm. For more information and ​ updates: http://peoplesclimate.org/faith/ and http://peoplesclimate.org/faith/logistics-for-the-interfaith-contingent/.

We have banners and signs at the meeting house, as well as ​ sign-making materials.
