Five Pieces of Wisdom from Quaker Changemakers
Each month, FCNL brings individual Friends’ witness in the world into conversation with Quaker advocacy work through our Quaker Changemaker event series. Here are some highlights from this past years’ events.Scott Duncan’s Trans-Pacific Work for Peace
I first ran into FCNL when I was head of the fundraising department at AFSC in Philadelphia, and a friend of mine was in the development department at FCNL. When I retired here in Salisbury, Maryland, I became interested in FCNL and started to donate money to support their lobbying efforts. That’s the way I got introduced to the notion of citizen lobbying. I was just so impressed with the thoroughness and the clarity of the work that the staff did at FCNL.Persistent Advocacy for Peace

In the coverage that follows, few newspapers are likely to report that a 76-year-old Quaker lobby has done the careful, long-term work to end a war that has spread to 19 countries.Questions for Trump's New Foreign Policy Team

An analysis of the 2018–2022 Forward Plan concludes that despite the challenges of the last five years, the Friends Committee on National Legislation (FCNL) has been transformed into a “bigger, more resilient, and effective lobbying organization that continually innovates to meet challenges while remaining grounded in Quaker faith and practice.”A Different Future is Possible
