Friends General Conference has joined a multifaith coalition and the Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection (ICAP) in opposition to the rescission of ICE’s sensitive locations policy, which is a direct violation of the First Amendment and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

The repeal of this policy directly interferes with the ability of meetings and churches within FGC to fulfill our spirit-led obligations and priorities. FGC strives to support all our meetings and attenders in the spirit of the equality testimony, and with the dignity that all people deserve.

We don’t take this step lightly, but this action from the United States government challenges a foundation of our faith and threatens the peace of our meetinghouses and our communities. We are compelled by our religious convictions and the movement of Spirit to take a stand and protect our places of worship.

If you, too, would like to see the recission revoked, please sign the petition.
