THROUGH COMMUNICATIONS (SUCH AS NEWSLETTERS, WEB SITE, EMAIL ALERTS, SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS, AND TELEPHONE CALLS) AND TRAVEL AROUND THE COUNTRY, WE HELP INDIVIDUALS AND COMMUNITIES ADVOCATE EFFECTIVELY FOR PEACE AND JUSTICE ISSUES. WE DEVELOP INFORMATION TO CREATE FOCUSED, STRATEGIC COMMUNICATIONS IN SPECIFIC STATES AND CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS TO INFLUENCE MEMBERS OF CONGRESS AND WILL RESULT IN FEDERAL LEGISLATION THAT SUPPORTS OUR POLICIES AND PRIORITIES. FCNL HAS ESTABLISHED AND TRAINED OVER 100 ADVOCACY TEAMS, TOTALING OVER 1,500 PEOPLE IN LOCAL REGIONS WHO ARE WILLING TO BUILD RELATIONSHIPS WITH THEIR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS AND TO ADVOCATE ON LEGISLATION THAT FCNL IS ADVANCING.

EACH YEAR, MORE THAN 400 QUAKERS AND OTHERS FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY GATHER IN WASHINGTON FOR AN ANNUAL CONFERENCE TO DISCUSS FCNL'S WORK, HEAR FROM OUR LOBBYISTS ABOUT SPECIFIC PUBLIC POLICY ISSUES, AND MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES AND POLICIES. IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES SET BY FCNL'S GENERAL COMMITTEE, THE LEGISLATIVE TEAMS FOCUS ON THE FOLLOWING ISSUES: (1) IMMIGRATION AND REFUGEE POLICY; (2) CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM; (3) ENERGY AND THE ENVIRONMENT; (4) ECONOMIC JUSTICE; (5) NATIVE AMERICAN CONCERNS; (6) ELECTION INTEGRITY; (7) GUN VIOLENCE PREVENTION; AND GENERAL TOPICS INCLUDING: (1) PEACEBUILDING, DIPLOMACY AND THE PEACEFUL PREVENTION AND RESOLUTION OF VIOLENT CONFLICT WITH AN EMPHASIS ON THE MIDDLE EAST; (2) REDUCTION OF MILITARY SPENDING AND ARMED INTERVENTIONS; AND (3) NUCLEAR DISARMAMENT AND NON-PROLIFERATION. ALTHOUGH ALL BUT ONE OF THE TEAM MEMBERS ARE REGISTERED AS LOBBYISTS, ONLY A SMALL PORTION OF THEIR WORK FALLS INTO THE CATEGORY OF DIRECT LOBBYING, INVOLVING CONTACTING A LAWMAKER SEEKING TO INFLUENCE THE PASSAGE OR DEFEAT OF LEGISLATION. EVEN THE BROADER DEFINITION OF "LOBBYING ACTIVITIES", WHICH INCLUDES PREPARATION AND PLANNING ACTIVITIES, RESEARCH AND OTHER BACKGROUND WORK THAT IS INTENDED, AT THE TIME IT IS PERFORMED, FOR USE IN CONTACTS, AND COORDINATION WITH THE LOBBYING ACTIVITIES OF OTHERS, DOES NOT CAPTURE THE FULL BREADTH OF THEIR WORK.
