Time and time again, people from across the U.S. see our elected officials struggle to solve the problems that matter most. Instead, money, corporations and apathy continue to feed governmental gridlock. We're left wondering – what can we do to restore our democracy?

When the Congressional Management Foundation surveyed hundreds of Congressional staff members, they found that in-person meetings with your members of Congress are the most effective way to influence policy decisions.

Change in Congress starts with you.

Please join Maiya Zwerling, FCNL’s National Field Organizer, for a workshop:

• Be a part of a national network while fostering a focused, strategic local grassroots team
• Learn and sharpen effective advocacy tools
• Join 2017 campaign to reign in Pentagon spending

There will be a potluck before the workshop begins.

The Friends Committee on National Legislation is a Quaker lobby in the public interest that seeks to promote just, peaceful and equitable policies in the U.S. government. FCNL’s influence in Washington stems from the integrity and truthfulness of our arguments and the strength of our grassroots network.
