Quit Carbon NC moves into the streets with strict nonviolent civil resistance to stop the climate crisis. What we do is not about politics. It is about facing the facts from physics and putting everything we’ve got into doing what social science research tells us gives us the best chance of making big enough changes, fast enough to stop the climate crisis. We are here to protect the earth’s living systems and preserve what we value most in our societies in ways that are fair and just. We aim to be a multi-racial, intergenerational movement welcoming all who are willing to support doing whatever is necessary to nonviolently stop the climate crisis with climate justice.

People who want to help, but cannot consider risking arrest are needed to do essential work.
Pledge to join in at least one QCNC action with a high risk of arrest, and to take the QCNC nonviolent civil resistance training before engaging in the action.
Everything we need to have in place to make our actions effective, from banners to lawyers, takes money, of course. Donate as you are able, and you can also invite others who may not be in a position to contribute in other ways to make financial donations.
QCNC has signed on to cosponsor a climate rally along with many other climate activist groups on 11/17 at 1pm in DC to build momentum to maximize climate action during Biden’s lame duck period – our best first step to fight Trump is offense! Click on this link to learn more and sign up.
QCNC began an April of actions on April 4th 2022 sitting in the road to block traffic with our sister group Declare Emergency in Washington D.C. supporting their demand that Joe Biden declare a climate emergency. 3 of the 7 people who were arrested in that action were from QCNC! (Hint: it’s the ones in the photo with grey hair.)
On April 25th 2022 we moved into nonviolent civil resistance in the Raleigh area to bring our demand to the governor.
We demand that Governor Roy Cooper declare a climate emergency and that he use his emergency powers to immediately take all possible actions to move to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions in our state. We further demand that any steps he takes be just and avoid bringing harm especially to vulnerable communities (e.g. methane capture projects on hog farms and the activities of the wood pulp industry).
Your help is needed to make these actions a success. There is much work to be done. For every person who participates in actions risking arrest we need many people doing other necessary work to support them. Click on the “Sign Up” button above to find out more or send us a message through this site’s contact page.
All of those who participate in nonviolent civil resistance actions MUST go to a Nonviolent Civil Resistance (NVCR) training.
