Free them All: month of action
May 2-22
To honor Mother’s Day, AFSC will join partners across the country to bring the force of love to the walls of jails, prisons, and detention centers. Join us in person or spirit as we lift the Light of those incarcerated. Together we’ll challenge systems that separate loved ones, harm communities, and diminish our shared well-being.
Happening tonight! Demilitarizing the budget
May 3, 7 p.m. / 4 p.m. PT
As the war in Ukraine adds to the many violent conflicts around the world, governments are responding by increasing military budgets and sending weapons to allies. They are also calling for escalatory measures against other nations. In this webinar, you'll learn why the United States' spending on weapons and war isn't keeping us safe. We’ll also share how you can get involved in the call to move money out of militarism and into our communities!
