Quakers and friends are gathering in DC for the #MarchforourLives march on Washington, and Friends Committee on National Legislation wishes to hold and support Friends and friends who will be at the rally.
• We plan to hold the Quaker Welcome Center for Friends to connect with the latest legislative updates regarding gun violence, and witness with Friends in a prayerful manner.
• For those who visit, we will share and introduce Friends to our advocacy tools and offer 15 minute stand up lobby tips. We will encourage Friends to lobby their representatives upon their return home.
• We will introduce Friends to the Quaker Welcome Center for future lobby training purposes as well as other potential events.
