Climate Change and Earthcare Questions for Candidates in 2024 Elections

The Quaker Earthcare Witness (QEW) FCNL Working Group has written a selection of earthcare-related questions you can ask candidates, not only to determine their positions on climate change and other earthcare issues, but also to let them know how important these matters are to you. Many faith, justice, and environmental groups view the 2024 elections as a vote for our future survival. We offer these questions as a tool to help you vote your conscience.
