FGC recommends the following tip for newcomers to the Quaker faith: Take action through the American Friends Service Committee.

The American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) was founded in 1917 to meet the needs of conscientious objectors seeking an alternative to military service during World War I. The organization now works toward sustainable systemic change through programs around the world addressing these issues: economic justice, global peace, migration & immigrant rights, and police & policing.

Did you know that the American Friends Service Committee, alongside the British Friends Service Council, accepted the Nobel Peace Prize in 1947 on behalf of all Quakers worldwide?
