Dear Friends,
I am pleased to forward to you an epistle from Shelley Tanenbaum, General Secretary of Quaker Earthcare Witness (QEW). The QEW Sustainability Faith and Action Working Group, as their part of Global Divestment Days February 13-14, is sharing this epistle describing work that has been done on divestment from fossil fuels as well as references & background material. Part of the QEW website has been dedicated to providing information about divestment – it is titled “Fossil Free Friends” (http://www.quakerearthcare.org/article/fossil-free-friends).
Please let us know if your Monthly Meeting is working on this
concern, what actions you are taking and send us the text of Minutes that you
have approved. We will forward the information to QEW, who will update their website with your current information.
I hope you find the attached epistle and background
information useful and inspiring. Please share this with your Meeting’s
Clerk and distribute it to your network of Friends.
With hope for a more sustainable future,
SAYMA Earthcare Action Network
