Founded in 1943 by members of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), FCNL has worked for more than 65 years to change federal policy to advance social and economic justice, peace, and good government.
In December 2010 the Senate ratified the New START Treaty which will reduce the number of deployed nuclear weapons, moving us closer to a world free of nuclear weapons.
This December success clears the way for hundreds of thousands of Native Americans to receive the money that the federal government owes them for the use of their land.
Across the country, local elected officials, religious leaders, community groups, union officials, Quaker meetings and churches, and many other groups are working with FCNL to urge Congress to cut the military budget.
