About [Edit]
A Quaker Lobby in the Public Interest
We seek a world free of war and the threat of war
We seek a society with equity and justice for all
We seek a community in which every person`s potential may be fulfilled
We seek an earth restored
The Friends Committee on National Legislation [FCNL] is a public interest lobby founded in 1943 by members of the Religious Society of Friends. FCNL seeks to bring the concerns, experiences and testimonies of Friends [called Quakers] to bear on policy decisions in the nation`s capital. People of many religious backgrounds participate in this work. FCNL`s staff and volunteers work with a nationwide network of thousands of people to advocate social and economic justice, peace, and good government.
FCNL is a 501[c]4 public interest lobby, not a political action committee [PAC] nor a special interest lobby. FCNL`s multi-issue advocacy connects historic Quaker testimonies on peace, equality, simplicity and truth with peace and social justice issues which the United States government is or should be addressing. FCNL seeks to follow the leadings of the Spirit as it speaks for itself and for like-minded people.
FCNL Education Fund
The FCNL Education Fund is governed by a board appointed by the General Committee of FCNL. It is a 501[c]3 organization that exists in parallel with FCNL to support the research, analysis and education for which FCNL is known and respected. [Donations to the FCNL Education Fund are tax-deductible.] Thousands of individuals and organizations rely on FCNL Education Fund’s resource materials for background information on policy issues and legislative details.
