2024 EarthAction Report
The following projects and campaigns were made possible with your support. Thank You.
2020 Action: Every month, 2020 Action educated and mobilized thousands of US citizens and encouraged them to communicate with US policymakers on critically important peace and environmental issues. 2020 Action just completed our 38th year!
Climate Change: EarthAction’s Climate Scorecard project tracks the ability of leading greenhouse gas emitting countries to commit to and develop plans for achieving short-term (by 2030) and long-term (by 2050) emission reduction targets. It provides regular Global Spotlight Reports on critical aspects of stabilizing our global climate. These include agriculture, power systems, water, and making and keeping greenhouse gas reduction pledges.
The American Friends of the Palestinian House of Friendship: In 2024, EarthAction helped to raise over $190,000 to support the Palestinian House of Friendship (PHF) in Nablus, Palestine. Programs included: summer camps; a skate park; after school programs and e-learning for kids unable to go to school due to violence; Girl Scouts; older and younger women’s choruses; the Open Gate Music Studio; the Little Free Library in Nablus; a cultural folklore festival in Asira with music, dance, and hand-crafts, and, “The Green Hands Initiative,” where children learn to love the land and to plant vegetables and fruits. PHF also began a new forward-looking project, Building a New Democratic Society in Nablus, West Bank, Palestine.
The Elders Project (TEP) in Colombia continued to assist the traditional authorities (Mamos) of the Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta (SNSM) in Colombia. Rick Harlow, the Project Director, traveled to Colombia in June and again in November and participated in the spiritual ceremonies of the four ‘brothers’: the arhuacos, koguis, wiwas, and kankuamos. The strengthening unification of the 4 pueblos of the SNSM in performing the spiritual work has been a great help to the Elders in their efforts to comply with their Law of Origin to balance nature in ‘the heart of the world.’
The Indigenous Solidarity Fund continued to support elder wisdom keepers in Colombia and around the Americas. Through the generosity of donors, in November of 2024 the ISF was able to facilitate the participation of elders from various territories in Colombia in the Jornadas de Paz y Dignidad (Peace and Dignity Journeys), where they accompanied more than 100 representatives from diverse indigenous communities from around the Americas in their mission to promote peace, share mythologies, and develop mutual understanding for the benefit of future generations.
Other Campaigns With your support EarthAction engaged in many other global campaigns for peace, justice and the environment through our website and social media. We are grateful to all our donors, volunteers, and Board Members who helped to make these campaigns and projects successful. Thank you.
