Information
Organization's Own Description:
The Friends Committee on National Legislation's prophetic, persistent, powerful work influences Congress to solve problems.
Issues: We talk with public officials, urging them to change government policies that perpetuate all forms of injustice — from the violation of human rights, to war, to degradation of our earth, to the unbalanced priorities of our federal budget.
Network: FCNL’s influence in Washington stems from the integrity and truthfulness of our arguments and the strength of our grassroots network. Our staff act with the support and participation of Friends and other like-minded people nationwide.
Quakerism: As a Quaker lobby in the public interest, we believe that there is that of God in everyone. It comes through in our goals, and it comes through in our approach. Our meetings with congressional offices inform them of our position but also provide an opportunity to listen to and learn from their perspective. We build relationships by finding and speaking to the divine light in each person we encounter.
Successes: We are committed to working with everyone, no matter their party or history, to effect change. We have found over the past seven decades that our big wins come from coalition building and reaching across the aisle. This nonpartisan foundation strengthens our credibility with members of Congress of all parties.
