Advocacy Teams

Today, there are more active armed conflicts around the world than at any point since World War II. Congress can do more to reduce armed conflict and other forms of violence abroad by investing in peacebuilding!

In the past few weeks, Advocacy Teams in Iowa and Utah seized this key window for action. Their stories of meaningful relationship-building with members of Congress are inspiring examples of the power of constituent-led advocacy.

“FCNL is one of the most well-organized and strategic advocacy teams in Washington,” Rep. Barbara Lee told RNS. “Their advocates always speak with detailed knowledge and moral clarity. I have found them to be an invaluable ally in our shared efforts to end war and advance human rights and needs.”

How one reluctant advocate became a grassroots champion for peace in foreign policy.

On the 18th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, twenty people gathered in front of the White House. Together they called on Congress and President Biden to repeal the 2002 Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF), the law that enabled the invasion in the first place.

The first teams were launched in 2015. Today, we have more than 120 teams stretching across 42 states, engaging Congress to end endless wars.

Representative Ro Khanna (CA-17) thanked members of FCNL’s Advocacy Teams for the difference they have made in stopping war and promoting peace.
