Quaker Traditions of Activism: As we address ecological destruction, income inequality, and racial injustice we draw on traditional Quaker testimonies that articulate both the connections among these concerns and the imperative to act.
We value equality. Economic inequality has increased dramatically, with racial minorities experiencing the brunt of both income inequality and environmental harm.
We value integrity. Gross Domestic Product is a false measure of prosperity, and truth is being sacrificed in advertising, media, public discourse, and politics.
We value simplicity. Our ‘Growth Economy’ requires never ending consumption, debt, and exploitation of the natural world to sustain itself.
We value community. Yet we are being divided by racism, politics, classism and God’s community of life is diminished.
We value peace. The violence and devastation caused by our extractive economic model, and our dependence on fossil fuels is now threatening all life on earth..
Consistent with these traditions, QAMAR works toward a clean, equitable, affordable and thriving energy economy in the Mid-Atlantic region by building community and strengthening the Commonwealth of life.
