Feb. 19, 2025
We fully endorse Philadelphia Yearly Meeting’s lawsuit asking the court to declare unconstitutional any policy permitting government agents to carry out immigration enforcement activities inside or on the grounds of houses of worship. This step was taken to ensure we can freely exercise core Quaker values of peace, equity, and social justice.
We hold in the Light those individuals who are actively moving this lawsuit forward to affirm long-held Quaker principles.
