Join with others across the country working on federal peace and justice legislation as a grassroots advocate!
The Advocacy Teams Network is made up of more than 1,500 individuals from across the country who use their power as constituents to make change in Washington. Our success comes from our commitment to building relationships with Congress grounded in mutual respect and listening.
Your activities will include:
- Fostering a team of advocates in your community
- Building an ongoing relationship with your members of Congress and their staff through regular lobby visits
- Writing letters to the editor
- Engaging with local media
Each year, the Advocacy Teams network works on a campaign related to peace and foreign policy. We welcome you to join us this year as our network of 130+ teams across 45 states call on Congress to Invest in Peace through funding three critical conflict prevention and peacebuilding funds. We use an intersectional lens to bring peace and justice to the forefront of the national conversation.

Description
The Friends Committee on National Legislation (FCNL) fields the largest team of registered peace lobbyists in Washington, DC. Founded in 1943 by members of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), FCNL's multi-issue advocacy connects historic Quaker testimonies on peace, equality, simplicity, and truth with peace and social justice issues which the United States government is or should be addressing. FCNL is nonpartisan.
FCNL currently lobbies on peace issues, the peaceful prevention of deadly conflict, nuclear disarmament, immigration, Native American issues, environment, and federal budget priorities.
