Greetings!
Welcome to our first e-newsletter! Our goal is to send these out every two weeks so that you can stay updated with what's going on in the lives of YECA activists across the country. We will also warmly welcome submissions/ articles from Y-O-U (there could be a t-shirt or a blog feature in it to make it worth your time).

Meet us at the Debate!
|  |
YECA activists just like you will be gathering at the 2nd Presidential Debate at Hofstra University (Long Island, NY) in order to pray for the candidates and our neighbors who are most affected by climate change. Click here to read more or to download fliers to share with your friends! You can also find a link to our Talking Points and Call to Action, which we encourage you to read before the debate.
You can also feel free to contact Ben (Ben@YECAction.org) or Danika (intern@YECAction.org) for more information.

We. Were. There.
|  On Friday, September 28, a group of Y.E.C.A. activists from Eastern Nazarene College teamed up with
Bill McKibben and 350.org in Boston, MA, to deliver a grassroots petition with 52,864 signatures to Gov. Mitt Romney asking him to take the climate crisis seriously.
Thanks to Meghan, Kyle, Michael, and Lisa from Eastern Nazarene College for representing us so well at Gov. Romney's campaign headquarters!

A Climate for Prayer
|  The timing is ripe for us to raise our voices to God. With all of the debates and building energy towards election day on November 6, the candidates and those affected the hardest by climate change can certainly use our prayers. If you are interested in hosting your own event, feel free to download our prayer guide here, or read more about a prayer dinner that YECA activists hosted in Glen Ellyn, IL to pray for the Democratic and Republican National Conventions. And, if you missed the conventions, check out this article for a summary of how climate positions have been addressed. |
