Tomorrow! Join FCNL's José Moreno, Kris Brown | President, bradyunited.org of @Bradybuzz & IL Lake County State's Attorney Eric Rinehart for a conversation about what you can do as an individual working with public officials to reduce the plague of gun violence: fcnl.org/events/reducin…

We know the #CTC works to reduce child poverty. So does Sherrod Brown: “I’ll put it this way, no more tax breaks for big corporations & the wealthy unless the child tax credit’s with it. I'll lay down in front of a bulldozer on this” Thank you Senator! youtube.com/watch?v=jCLKfh…

'The earned-income credit alone reduced child poverty by 22 percent, the analysis found, compared with 5 percent a generation ago.'

Millions are depending on #Congress to ensure everyone who needs these #taxcredits can access them...because they work! nytimes.com/2022/09/11/us/…

Never doubt the power of small groups organizing for change!

'In light of the extraordinary global need, and the United States’ demonstrated capacity to expand welcome, it is imperative that your administration set a robust refugee admissions goal of 200,000 refugees for FY23.'

Proud to join this call! interfaithimmigration.org/2022/09/06/ove…

DACA is ten years old.

On one hand, it's cause for celebration that DACA has survived so many challenges to make it to this point.

On the other hand, it's stark evidence that lawmakers have failed to enact a permanent solution for Dreamers. We need a pathway to citizenship.

Very promising to see the US and Russia commit to work on a follow-on arms control arrangement to the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START).

We need to rid the world of nuclear weapons entirely. But until then, these treaties are vital. armscontrol.org/blog/2022-09/n…

.Bridget Moix reflects on Sept. 11:

'As resounding as our evergreen message is that war is not the answer, we realized we must also respond to the question, 'Then what is?''

Practically every American over 30 remembers exactly where they were and what they were doing that clear morning on Sept. 11.

We should also remember the horror and grief that other civilians have experienced as a result of the US response to 9/11. fcnl.org/updates/2022-0…

'A top official acknowledged the government’s role in sending cancer-causing dust into the lungs of thousands of New Mexico residents when it detonated the world’s first atomic bomb in 1945.'

Long overdue. Far more to be done for nuclear testing victims. sourcenm.com/2022/09/08/us-…

White Christian nationalism is a grave threat to our democracy. The Christian community and the broader faith community at large have a unique obligation to take action.

Faith leaders and organizations cannot shy away from what this moment demands.

Our Director of Justice Reform José Moreno will be a featured speaker at this event on Sept. 13!

He will discuss his efforts to get dedicated congressional funding for “violence interrupter” programs nationwide. fcnl.org/events/reducin…

'Earlier this week, I drove east, from San Diego to Tucson and into New Mexico. On the first day of the drive, once we got a few miles inland, the temperature didn’t drop below 107 degrees until the early evening.'

This. Is. Not. Normal. thenation.com/article/enviro…

'The Friends Committee...operates within a broader ecosystem of faith-based organizations that have passionately embraced climate and environmental issues.'

Thanks to Ev for covering the faith community's role in getting the IRA passed! eenews.net/articles/how-f…

The beauty of persistent advocacy!

In August, two of our Advocacy Team members drove to their district office in Utah. Just as they were about to leave the office, Rep. Chris Stewart popped in and spoke with them for ten minutes about the war in Yemen. fcnl.org/updates/2022-0…
