o-Justice Collaborative of PYM, with Earth Quaker Action Team (EQAT), hosted a panel of four climate activist Friends from across the country and explored the role of finance in the climate crisis: how our money currently flows to support fossil fuel projects, and a variety of campaigns that Friends are engaged in to change that “plumbing” system, stop that flow, and redirect those resources toward supporting the future of life on earth. EJC members Pamela Haines and Ruth Darlington co-hosted the event.
