FCNL’s lobbyist on Human Rights and Civil Liberties, Yasmine Taeb, spoke with Politico about the need to continue supporting our refugee resettlement program after the arrest of two refugees in California and Texas prompted some members of Congress to call for fast-tracking anti-refugee legislation.
Join faith leaders in prayer and to call on Congress to pass a Build Back Better plan to advance racial equity, climate action, reduce child poverty, affordable health care, and an economy that works for all.
Democracy in the United States has always been a work in progress. But the events of the first few weeks of January remind us of how much work is still needed.
By most measures, the United States is a country of wealth and abundance. Yet, for many people, the economy isn’t working. Every day, people in our communities experience the frustration and indignity of struggling to pay rent and put food on the table.
Every Wednesday at 5:15 p.m. ET, FCNL hosts a gathering on zoom for F/friends around the country. This is an opportunity to engage in silent worship and reflection with one another. It is a time to come together in community.
