Climate Witness Stewards are inviting a representative from each Monthly Meeting in Philadelphia Yearly Meeting to join us for a Climate Cafe: a place for support and to report climate actions (formerly Online Potluck) The next Climate Cafe is at 7 pm on May 9th. We have found this format to be a supportive, spiritually encouraging and community building way to share climate action information and hope. Some Monthly Meetings have already designated liaisons to share information about how their Meeting is acting to mitigate the climate crisis. Whether your Meeting has a climate liaison yet or not, we warmly invite you to join us for the next online potluck to share both climate activities and needs. Online potlucks meet quarterly so if unable to make this event, please consider joining us at a future event.
