Sunday Mar 6 – 1:30 pm on zoom
In partnership with an international coalition, Earth Quaker Action Team is taking on one of the largest investors in climate destruction. Come hear why they think this is an effective strategy for change, why nonviolent direct action is part of their approach, and what they are asking Vanguard customers to do. (It may not be what you expect.)
Eileen Flanagan is the Interim Campaign Director and former board clerk of Earth Quaker Action Team (EQAT, pronounced “equate”). Ahead of the 2020 election, she served as Trainings Coordinator of Choose Democracy, which trained nearly 10,000 people in nonviolent strategies to prevent a coup. She speaks, writes, and teaches online courses on how to build a spiritually grounded and effective climate justice movement. She is a member of Chestnut Hill Meeting, a Quaker congregation in
Philadelphia. Nancy Sleator is a teacher, mother, and grandmother. She dreams of a world where the next generations can find a place in the web of all living things, and have a chance to thrive. She volunteers with the Earth Quaker Action Team and has served on the board for six years. In her local municipality, she works on “zero waste” and pollution. A Quaker, she is a member of Lansdowne Monthly Meeting, in Philadelphia Yearly Meeting.
She’ll give a 20 minute powerpoint presentation leaving plenty of time for discussion and idea generation. Plus join to share your ideas for a resilient NW Arkansas. Zoom link also available at omnicenter.org
