Urgent Quaker Call to Action

Click the above link to read an “Urgent Call to the Religious Society of Friends” concerning the current extensive threats to U.S. democracy. This Call was prepared by a group of nineteen Friends led to speak out against the lies, extremist movements, and anti-democratic actions that are the opposite of Quaker understandings of integrity and Truth.

The Urgent Call Steering Committee invites concerned Friends and friends to join in the first of a series of national conversations on these issues to be hosted by the Earlham School of Religion. (Monday, July 25th registration is closed.) You can still register for one of the following sessions: Sunday, July 31, 3-5 PM Eastern Time, or Thursday, August 18, 7-9 PM EDT. Register Here quakercall.net.
