About [Edit]
The mission of the AFSC (MAR) - DC Peace and Economic Justice Program is to bring together people from throughout the DC area to work to build a community at peace where social and economic justice prevail. We work to cultivate effective and appropriate responses to conflicts and injustices. AFSC-DC uses tools and strengths from its Quaker base to listen to and to hear all voices, to diminish the violence and to help build a community where each person’s potential can be realized.
