Daniel Hunter Presentation Follow-Up Materials

We at the Quaker Call to Action are pleased to send to you a packet of helpful information that was shared during our June 1, 2025, National Zoom Call with Daniel Hunter.

Daniel, who is a co-founder of Choose Democracy, an organization committed to helping concerned people learn how to nonviolently resist an autocratic takeover of our federal government, presented an especially informative and encouraging talk to the large group of Friends who attended on June 1. Daniel’s talk is excellent, uplifting, and hopeful.

HERE is a link to the zoom recording of Daniel’s presentation, and HERE is a link to the slide deck that he used in the presentation. We encourage you to view Daniel’s presentation and to consider sharing it with your meeting and other groups in which you may be involved. We believe that Daniel’s presentation should be distributed widely since it is so helpful and timely.

Also, HERE is a document with suggestions for using Daniel’s presentation in your meeting or group. On the second page of the document is a listing of additional resources that were mentioned during the June 1 session. There you will find links to various websites and a description of a new Quaker ministry that has arisen in Philadelphia called North Star Network. It is supporting immigrants and their families in various ways, including counseling and other forms of support for those who become clear that they want to try moving to Canada. There is a list of numerous ways for Friends to assist in their efforts, if you are so led.

We’ve been touched by the positive response to our Quaker Call to provide an online space for Friends across the country to come together for worship, support, learning, and encouragement to discern spiritually grounded nonviolent actions during these challenging times. Thank you for your faithfulness.

In the Spirit,
