User:Kdnyq/Young Evangelicals for Climate Action

Hey Wikipedia Community --

I'm Kaleb Nyquist, the Campaigns Assistant for Young Evangelicals for Climate Action. We are young evangelicals (under 30) who are coming together to overcome the climate crisis as part of our Christian discipleship and witness. We feel like our movement has garnered enough significance to warrant a Wikipedia article, but of course I do not want to get us involved in any sort of Conflict of Interest dispute. So, following Wikipedia community guidelines as best we are able, we are reaching out to you all and our support community to see if you would be interested in creating a page for our movement.

Because we are not merely about stewarding God's creation but also about advocating for the poor and the marginalized who have the most to lose in a climate crisis scenario, we do not quite fit under the Evangelical environmentalism page (quite frankly - that's a page that could use some re-tooling of its own!).

Please ask if you have any questions, concerns or ideas.

Our website is www.yecaction.org. Our sponsor organization is the Evangelical Environmental Network.

Below is our index of Y.E.C.A. news hits. If you want to legitimize our movement by providing us a Wikipedia page, we hope you will use this resource responsibly and fairly. A suggested outline put together by Danika Foster, a member of our steering committee, is at the end of this page.

Link to the page we hope you'll create: Young Evangelicals for Climate Action.

Thanks for the work that you do.

- Kaleb
