SUMMARY:Love as Action: Philadelphia (AFSC Public Witness)
DESCRIPTION:Quaker public witness has stood in opposition to cruel and authoritarian actions in our country before. It is time for us to show this love in action again.\nPlease join the American Friends Service Committee and Philadelphia Area Quakers to bear peaceful witness and show resistance to the authoritarian actions in our country. \nSaturday\, April 25\n1:30 PM \nWe will gather at Philadelphia City Hall for one hour of silent public worship\, with art and signs \n12:30 PM\nArt & sign making at Friend’s Center prior to the action. April’s art build will be co-led by Meg Barney (Providence Friends Meeting) and Claire Kinnel (Newtown Friends Meeting) \n\nHelp the organizers: \n RSVP to attend! \n(links to Mobilize for American Friends Service Committee) \nOur hope is that our presence will give hope to all who see us – to show that we can choose resistance – and remind everyone of our moral obligations to one another. \nWe gather monthly in communities across the country\, showing our communities love in action as a public witness of our Quaker values in a time of rising fascism. \nTo find our more about Love as Action nationally and get more resources visit us at afsc.org/love-action

SUMMARY:Continuing Revolution 2026 (Young Adults!)
DESCRIPTION:Description\nA hybrid weekend workshop for young adults to connect\, learn skills for community resistance\, and deepen their personal spiritual practices.   \nGrounding in our personal spiritual journeys and community-level resistance and resilience work\, this program will bring together young adults ages 18-35 eager to deepen their personal spiritual landscape in community\, connect with others\, and learn skills to meet this moment.   \n2026 marks the 250th anniversary of the United States. Philadelphia is a focal point of the celebrations. What can we learn from the last 250 years? What do we want our world to look like 250 years from now? What is our role in caring for one another? How can we build the skills and spiritual grounding necessary for building community and resisting oppressive systems? How can we deepen our personal spiritual practices?   \nLike past Continuing Revolution programs\, this offering is simultaneously grounded in Quaker values and practices and open to those with no prior knowledge or experience with Quakerism. We welcome all seekers who are interested in exploring the intersection of their personal spiritual journey and community needs\, regardless of faith or ideology.   \nStay tuned for more details about workshops. We hope to explore themes of creating community safety beyond policing\, mutual aid\, spiritual embodiment\, and the past and future of resistance in Philadelphia.  \n  \nGet notified when registration opens\nSharing this event?
