Over the past year, AFSC staff have been talking with Quaker meetings across the U.S. about our North Star, a vision for community safety beyond prisons and policing. We’re excited to have received our first minute of support for North Star from a prison-based worship group. It comes from the Quaker Worship Group at Sing Sing prison, which started over 35 years ago and has since provided members “refuge in a dehumanizing institution.”
