Affiliated Organizations Events

A number of Quakers throughout the tri-state area have the opportunity to participate with Friends in Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia and DC who have been actively involved in witnessing the toxic threat of the Potomac Pipeline and the construction of a fossil fuel burning factory Rockwool. Many have participated in Hands Across the Potomac. there are also Friends at Shepherdstown Meeting in WV and at Goose Creek Meeting in VA who have been inspired by Tracy’s Walk in Denmark and have begun helping to coordinate the Solidarity Walk on the C&O Canal from Harpers Ferry to DC. We would welcome members of BYM and its Unity with Nature Committee to participate and publicize the C&O Solidarity Walk and our efforts to stop the construction of Rockwool. For more information, email paphillips321@gmail.com, text 703-786-8594, or see the Facebook page at www.facebook.com/SolidarityCOWalk/. You can choose to walk any day along the way or the whole thing.
