At the crossroads of climate justice and migrant rights

Updated 13 February 2025

Across our Yearly Meeting, the issues of climate justice and migrant rights are live concerns.

Others have been involved in school strikes, anti-fracking action and activism with the growing Extinction Rebellion movement.It's also important to remember that the sustainability we might call for in other areas of our lives applies to our Quaker meetings and meeting houses as well. In my role I've come across many ways meetings are trying to make their properties more sustainable – and seen a lot of opportunities yet to be taken, too. Here are six ways to make a difference.
