This year, FCNL’s practice of FIERCE LOVE means lobbying Congress for strong action to address police brutality and the militarization of law enforcement. More than ever, our community needs one another, and Congress needs to hear from you.
Advocacy
FCNL – 2020 Virtual Annual Meeting
Theme: FIERCE LOVE
Just days after one of the most consequential elections in our history, we will gather virtually as a community to worship, learn and lobby.
Getting Involved with Poll Monitoring and the Prophetic Pledge
The Poor People’s Campaign is asking faith communities to mobilize in solidarity with poor voters, especially in key states like Pennsylvania. Two specific initiatives—Poll Monitoring and the Prophetic Pledge—have launched in the interest of voter protection and a fair election. These present strategic opportunities for Meetings and individuals to work together to ensure that all votes are counted and no voter is intimidated or turned away at the polls.
Join AFSC Fellow Sophia Burns on Saturday, October 24th at 11AM via Zoom to learn how your Meeting can get involved.
Register in advance for this meeting.
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
Questions for Candidates
Quakers have a long history of political engagement. As the midterm elections approach, the PYM / FCNL Legislative Policy Collaborative encourages all Friends to engage in constructive dialogue with candidates at Town Hall Meetings and via Letters to the Editor.
FCNL’s website section on Questions for Candidates offers nonpartisan guidance on issues Friends care about.
