Sacred Witness: Our Journey in the Middle East

Hassan El-Tayyab, Jonathan Evans, and Melissa Graf-Evans recently recently visited Israel and Palestine to meet with both Palestinian and Israeli activists across the region, learning about their work at the center of the conflict, and pursuing a just peace amidst the suffering of war.

Effective Advocacy in a Chaotic Era

-  |  Online

We are in a chaotic political moment, with the Trump administration ignoring the courts and trying to destroy parts of government it doesn’t like. Congress is moving forward with a budget plan that would dramatically cut health care and food assistance for tens of millions of people. It can be hard to know, in the middle of all the chaos, how we can live into our values to be effective advocates.

Join FCNL’s Amelia Kegan and Bridget Moix for a network call to discuss how FCNL is responding in this moment and how you can best lobby for peace, justice, and an earth restored.
