Every year, Congress passes a major piece of legislation that sets military policy, the National Defense Authorization Act. Below are the specific recommendations that FCNL shared as Congress considers the NDAA for Fiscal Year 2027.
Threats to Our Democracy and the Laws Protecting Us
A recent piece covered the potential for the president to deploy federal agents to polling places to intimidate voters.
Voting & Elections
The damaging effects of money on our politics are clear. When money pours into our elections, the voices of average Americans are silenced. And voter suppression, too, continues to threaten our democracy.No Funding for War with Iran
Congress may soon consider a supplemental funding bill that could provide $87 billion or more to expand U.S. military operations against Iran. These unauthorized strikes are already costing American taxpayers more than $1 billion per day. Lawmakers must reject this request to fund an illegal war that has cost innocent lives and is threatening global stability..Nuclear Weapons
Decades after the Cold War, the drive to build nuclear weapons continues, energized in no small part by the policies of the U.S. government. The faith of Quakers is grounded in the belief that there is that of God in every person. The awful power of nuclear weapons indiscriminately threatens all people.Peacebuilding
In our pursuit of a world free of war and the threat of war, we are changing U.S. foreign policy from one that is overly militarized to one that prevents, mitigates, and transforms violent conflict.Environment & Energy
The U.S. Congress is pivotal to national and global efforts to meet the challenge of climate disruption. However, for Congress to be part of the solution, leadership is needed from members of both political parties. Our moral obligation to address climate change and protect vulnerable communities transcends partisanship. By changing the dialogue in Congress on climate change, we are paving the way for meaningful legislative solutions to gain bipartisan support and become law.Dwight Dunston
