I am personally very dedicated to the national Quaker lobby organization, the Friends Committee on National Legislation. For most of the past twenty-five years I have attended their annual meeting in D.C., and I joined the 2020 event online from home where gathered for four days of worship, organizational meetings, and to virtually lobby of our elected officials.
The Quaker Welcome Center hosts programs and events that equip people to change policy, nurture integrity in governance, and collaborate across political differences.
With support and guidance from FCNL staff, you can share your transformational story of faith and action, and the power of Quaker advocacy.
Come join us and be the spark that helps light the Fire within.
Quakers have a deep history of visitation outside one’s own meeting—seeking fellowship and deepening ties with Friends by way of personal connection. Rooted in this practice, Visiting Friends give presentations to meetings and churches about the core components of FCNL’s work to help nurture, connect, and energize Friends into faithful action.
Quakers and Friends are changing public policy.
