We meet on Zoom at 7:00pm ​on the second Tuesday of the month.  Join our mailing list to receive an invitation with a link.

Why we are 350: Scientists overwelmingly agree that 350 ppm CO2
is the upper limit to sustain life as humans have known it. For 800,000+ years atmospheric CO2 varied between roughly 180 to 280 ppm.
We passed 350 ppm in 1988!​

Please join us on Monday April 7, 2025  when Pamela Minden, PhD, RN will share some lobbying principles and best practices used by the Friends Committee on National Legislation (FCNL). FCNL is a nonpartisan, Quaker-led organization that lobbies Congress for peace, justice, and environmental stewardship. Founded in 1943, and located on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, it is the oldest registered religious lobby in the country.

For over four decades Pamela worked in healthcare and education, with a focus on communication, teamwork, creative uses of conflict, and humor. For the last eight years she has been a member of the Madison+ Advocacy Team, one of 138 FCNL-affiliated teams nationwide that regularly lobby their Members of Congress.
