Dear John,

Thanks for joining the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) and the Nation in urging governors in every state to defund policing and invest instead in critical needs such as schools, health care, and transformative justice initiatives that truly center community well-being.

If you value human rights and agree that all people deserve to live in safety and peace, you are in the right place.

Please follow us on Facebook for additional opportunities to take action on issues from racial justice to immigrant rights. And join us every Thursday at 4 p.m. ET for our Facebook Live series to get insight on today's pressing issues and how you can help create positive change.

Who is AFSC? We are a global community of people from all different backgrounds and walks of life who are committed to working for a more just and peaceful world. We are across the U.S. and in countries around the world. We advocate for immigrant rights, work to end mass incarceration, oppose discrimination, and respond to economic injustice – as well as work internationally to build conditions for lasting peace.

I hope you will watch for our calls to action, enjoy our digests of important news and perspectives, and feel the support of a community coming together with courage to make the world a better place.  

Yours in service,  Mark Graham Chief Marketing and Communications Officer American Friends Service Committee
