Greenwich Friends Meeting Minute on U.S. Immigration Policies
January 2026
Greenwich Friends Meeting, in Cumberland County, New Jersey, denounces the policies and actions of the Trump administration in its authorization of the Department of Homeland Security and allied government services to illegally stop, search and detain citizens and non-citizens without judicial warrants. We protest the use of unnecessary force, including murder, against law-abiding persons. We object to the infringement of constitutional rights and the flouting of the rule of law by officials at every level of government which are destroying the ideals that America has fostered for two hundred and fifty years.

Pan African Sisterhood Health Initiative at Moorestown
The Pan African Sisterhood Health Initiative (P.A.S.H.I.) makes reusable menstrual pads and carry pouches, which are donated to those in need locally, nationally and internationally. We are particularly interested in supporting school aged students who are missing school and other activities because they cannot afford menstrual hygiene products. Education around menstrual hygiene management, reproductive health, and life skills (such as how to make your own reusable menstrual hygiene product) goes hand in hand when we deliver pads and pouches.

Burlington, Haddonfield, and Salem Quarters come together to launch South Jersey Quakers website
In 2018, Friends at Burlington, Haddonfield, and Salem Quarters connected to discuss a program on meetings with dwindling memberships. Together, they explored ways to collaborate and increase communications and activities among the three Quarters. The idea for a South Jersey Quakers website emerged, one that would use the same name as the Facebook account already publicizing local events. The website is now live, and they are still building a variety of content to offer.
