Help BFM set Priorities for FCNL for the 120th Congress. Meet with us on Sunday April 12 at 12:30 p.m. in the meeting house after social hour.
- Every two years, the Friends Committee on National Legislation (FCNL) invites us to engage in worship and discernment to help them set their legislative priorities for the 120th Congress starting in 2027.
- This process of asking Friends to consider what issues should be the focus of their lobbying organization in Washington, DC, connects their advocacy strongly to the testimonies and values of Friends.
To begin this process, please first review FCNL’s policy statement, The World We Seek, available at fcnl.org/LegislativeStatement. Our discernment on which specific issues are rising to the priority level provides guidance to FCNL staff on where to focus their lobbying attention for the next two years. The following questions can help to guide our identification of the issues of greatest importance to us.
• How are Friends called to influence our government today?
• What issues should be the priority for our advocacy efforts?
• Where is the Spirit leading us?
