From May 4–22, 2025, Friends walk from NYC to Washington, D.C. carrying an updated Flushing Remonstrance—a centuries-old call to conscience reborn for our times. Passing through Princeton, Germantown, and the Susquehanna River by canoe, walkers confront histories of injustice and reimagine community, citizenry, and belonging through economic justice, ecological repair, and spiritual courage.

Quakers Uprooting Racism Coalition – Please Join on May 10 for a Free Anti-Racist Power Mapping 1/2 Day Workshop
How do we move from conviction to change? How do we recognize the systems of power that uphold injustice—and find the courage and clarity to disrupt them together?
On Saturday, May 10, Friends across the country will gather on Zoom for a free, half-day workshop on anti-racist power mapping, hosted by the Quaker Coalition for Uprooting Racism (QCUR). This session offers more than training—it is a space for spiritual grounding, collective discernment, and strategy-building for real-world justice.
Open to all, this event is especially for those seeking to align their Quaker faith with liberatory action, whether working for racial justice, peace in Palestine and Israel, or systemic change within their Meetings and communities.
