Advocate with your Meeting or Church
FCNL recognizes the vitality of meeting minutes as advocacy tools and as a particularly powerful means of communicating to members of Congress how a body of their constituents is thinking and acting on an issue. FCNL has worked with meetings to publish minutes as opinion pieces, submit minutes to members of Congress with requests for action, and more.

Friends in Action
Usually, constituents are the ones asking to meet with their members of Congress – but that wasn’t the case for Friends in Durham, NC this summer.
After sharing their powerful statement on racism and police brutality with their senator’s office, along with a lobby request, staff reached out to them to arrange a lobby visit. Durham Friends Meeting’s unity on their beliefs caught Congress’ attention and helped Friends bring their anti-racism work into their witness with the wider world.
