Friends Ending Gun Violence Collaborative: Info Session
March 25, 2025 | 7:00 P.M. EST | Zoom
FEGV Collaborative invites you to learn about our work, what’s happening in Bucks and Chester counties, south Jersey, and New York Yearly Meeting. All are welcome to attend.
The Friends Ending Gun Violence Collaborative (FEGV) is a newly formed group within Philadelphia Yearly Meeting. As Quakers, we are called to live out the testimony of peace. Gun violence challenges the foundation of that testimony, claiming over 40,000 lives annually in the United States. The Friends Ending Gun Violence Collaborative seeks to engage all those in the Yearly Meeting who share this concern and create ways for meetings and individuals to act.
FEGV has a unique partnership with Heeding God’s Call to End Gun Violence, the grassroots and interfaith organization devoted to ending gun violence. Heeding God’s Call grew out of a 2009 peace conference held at Arch Street Meeting House in which the historic peace churches came together; an outgrowth of the conference is a commitment to end gun violence by halting the sale and distribution of illegal handguns.
We’d like to share our work with you and invite you and your meeting to join us in a Zoom call on Tuesday, March 25 at 7:00 PM. Learn about our efforts in Bucks County, South Jersey, and Chester County. Hear what’s happening in New York Yearly Meeting. Find out how you and your meeting can get involved.
