Friends Seminary Workshop on Quakerism and Activism
March 5, 2026
Jess Hobbs Pifer, Community Organizer, gave a workshop to Friends Seminary students on Quakers, activism, and how to organize for social change.
NYC Quakers gathered for a sign-making event and marched in the large No Kings protest in New York City on June 14, 2025.
About 30 Friends gathered at Fifteenth Street Meeting to make signs and eat pizza before the start of the No Kings Day protest and march on Saturday, June 14. They then travelled to the protest gathering site (Bryant Park) which was packed full of people. A Friend reported it taking an hour and a half to walk two blocks. The rain and crowds didn't prevent our Friends from loudly speaking out for democracy and human rights — a very American action.
