QEW Action Hour: Protect our Earth | Save the IRA
The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the largest climate bill ever, is on the brink. Just five votes could determine the fate of the IRA’s climate provisions. With 21 Congressional Republican’s fighting alongside Democrats to protect IRA clean energy provisions- this is a winnable campaign set to keep gigatons of carbon out of the atmosphere. Join QEW’s urgent action call—mobilize, contact Congress, and defend our global future for generations to come.

Fall Gathering
Save the date of our hybrid Fall Gathering. Each Fall, QEW gathers to worship together, learn from each other, share in fellowship, and do business together. This year, we are gathering at Powell House, a retreat center in Old Chatham, New York. Powell House works to foster spiritual growth after the manner of Friends and to strengthen the application of Friends’ testimonies in the world.
Recurring Events
-
Monthly Worship Sharing
Typically, Fourth Tuesday of each month, 7 p.m. Eastern time/4 p.m. Pacific time
In worship sharing, we gather in small groups to focus on a particular query to explore our own experience and share with each other more deeply than we would in normal conversation. It seeks to draw us into sacred space, where we can take down our usual defenses and encounter each other in “that which is eternal.”
-
Weekly Fellowship Hour
Each Friday, 7 p.m. Eastern/4 p.m. Pacific
Most Monthly Meetings have a fellowship hour for dialogue and discussions—the QEW Fellowship hour is designed to mimic this informal environment! Come as you are to discuss earthcare, spirituality, Quakerism, and catch up with other dear people in our community.
