approved by Philadelphia Yearly Meeting in 2023 and invites all individuals and meetings in the Yearly Meeting to build a network of Friends to bring an end to gun violence in our communities.\u00a0 We believe that our actions to end gun violence are a contemporary expression of our historic Peace Testimony.<\/p>\n<p>FEGV relates to other gun violence prevention organizations to understand the issue and to recommend collective action.\u00a0 FEGV works with Quaker Action Mid-Atlantic Region (QAMAR), a 501-C4 organization, which educates and influences legislators about this issue.<\/p>\n<p>FEGV has a unique partnership with <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.heedinggodscall.org\/\"><strong>Heeding God\u2019s Call<\/strong><\/a><\/em>, a faith based not for profit organization that seeks to end gun violence by bringing awareness and channeling action among meetings, churches, synagogues, and mosques in local communities.\u00a0 Heeding God\u2019s Call is the offspring of the peace conference of the same name held at Fourth and Arch Street Meeting House and organized by Philadelphia Yearly Meeting and other historic peace churches in the region in 2008.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>What We Do<\/h2>\n<p>FEGV provides tools and templates for meetings and quarters to use in their local communities to raise awareness about gun violence and take concrete steps to end it through public witness.\u00a0 The collaborative is also a collecting place for meetings to share their work in their local communities.\u00a0 We recently shared a letter to all monthly and quarterly meetings in PYM encouraging them to take action.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>What You Can Do<\/h2>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.1&#8243;
