Throughout our history, AFSC has often been on the forefront of social change movements, carrying out work that many considered experimental and sometimes taking unpopular stands on controversial issues. This month, we invite you to continue this tradition and join us for events on alternatives to policing, advocacy for immigrant workers, and more.
