Upcoming events
Stopping police militarization
June 2, Wednesday, 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT
Communities of color and poor communities are policed by law enforcement that use militarized tactics and equipment paid for by our tax dollars—in effect turning communities into war zones. Join our community conversation to learn how people are organizing against police militarization and calling for policies and investments in programs that strengthen our communities. Register now.
Quaker Social Change Ministry: Deepen work for racial justice
June 8, Tuesday, 7:30 p.m. ET / 4:30 p.m. PT
Quaker Social Change Ministry provides a simple but transformative approach to doing social change work, bringing together small groups of Friends to focus on an issue that connects the congregation, the local community, and AFSC. In this session, AFSC’s Lucy Duncan will offer an overview of the model, including developing a covenant or shared spiritual agreements, sharing spiritual practice and worship, and using storytelling as a way to connect with one another and grow as practitioners of accompaniment. This will be followed by time in smaller groups to discuss how you might use this model in your local faith or social justice group. Register here.
The power of economic activism
June 16, Wednesday, 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT
Join AFSC and partners on June 16 to learn how communities around the world have used the power of economic activism to hold corporations to account and achieve social change. Economic activism creates effective leverage on companies and industries using tools such as media campaigns, quiet diplomacy, consumer boycotts, institutional divestment, legal action, and investor engagement.
