We ask all Quakers to heed a Call to Action. Please sit with these queries:
What is the Spirit leading me to do about the historic and ongoing racial pandemic across my meeting, my community, my work environment and my country?
How can we honor the memory of people who have lost their lives to the struggle for a better world?
How can we construct ways for people to engage and remain engaged beyond good intentions in the struggle for true equality in health, education, wealth and against state sanctioned violence?
- How can we encourage the support of Friends of Color in Quaker worship and meetings around the world?
- How can Friends de-center themselves in order to listen to and hear Friends of Color?
- How can I support respite for Friends of Color?
Queries from the Epistle of the 2020 FGC Virtual Pre-Gathering Retreat for Friends of Color and their Families. See the full Epistle at https://www.fgcquaker.org/news/outgoing-epistle-2020-virtual-pre-gathering-friends-color-and-their-families.
