In these politically charged and challenging times, it is easy to feel overwhelmed and fall into despair or indifference. Hope for a better future, “the world we seek” comes with the actions we take together on issues we care about. Friends Committee on National Legislation (FCNL) provides the tools we need to take effective, strategic action on national policies.
FCNL has made it a priority to engage Young Adults from diverse communities across the US in five separate programs designed specifically for Young Adults. Three of FCNL’s committees are now clerked by Young Adult Friends. Indeed, two of them are members here at PYM: Emily Temple, Downingtown Meeting and second from left in photo, serves as clerk of the Annual Meeting Planning Committee and Alex Stark, Moorestown Meeting, serves as clerk of the Policy Committee. Zoe Laky, Haverford Meeting, also serves as member of the Policy Committee.
Led by three Young Adults on FCNL staff, this workshop offers all Friends an opportunity to learn first hand about their experiences at FCNL and FCNL’s inspiring work bringing Friends’ values to Congress.
