This is posted by Lucy Duncan, who is Friends’ Liaison at American Friends Service Committee (AFSC):
If your meeting/church is interested in working across the country with other Quakers on issues like immigration reform, mass incarceration, supporting the end of the conflict in Israel/Palestine, or shifting federal budget priorities, please consider joining one of the two orientation calls for the AFSC meeting/church liaison program coming up this Sunday and Tuesday. If you’d like to join us, please fill out this Doodle poll. We had 10 Friends on the first call with much energy and excitement and are looking forward to connecting other peace and socially justice focused Quakers with one another.
