Political Advocacy as Friendly Persuasion

Friends Committee on National Legislation (FCNL) is the oldest faith-based lobbying group in Washington. For decades it has been a successful vehicle in advocacy for causes Quakers hold dear: peace and justice.

The FCNL lobbying approach uses a format that emphasizes interactive dialogue, seeking common ground, and building long-term working relationships with legislators. During the past decade FCNL has built a grassroots network of Advocacy Teams in 49 states and D.C. These teams—composed of Quakers and non-Quakers allies–use the FCNL lobbying approach to engage with their representatives in Congress.

The local Lancaster FCNL Advocacy Team will share the FCNL method of advocacy and demonstrate it in a simulated lobby visit.

Please join us … everyone is welcome.
