Quakers didn’t just “go to church together,” we shared the world and made sense of it as best we could together.

We are reaching out to one another to learn what our various Quaker meetings are doing to support Black, brown, and Indigenous lives and to bring down the systems and structures that support White supremacy, within us and without us.
