Press Release

Today, more than 450 advocates from 44 states join FCNL to lobby Congress on passing the Build Back Better Act.

Two members of Congress will be honored this week during FCNL’s Annual Meeting: Senator Todd Young (IN) will receive the Edward F. Snyder Award for Peace while Representative Rosa DeLauro (CT) will be given the FCNL Justice Award.

The Friends Committee on National Legislation (FCNL) lauded the passage by the House of the Family Violence Prevention and Services Improvement Act of 2021 (FVPSA).

FCNL welcomed important legislation to investigate and address the atrocities committed at Indian boarding schools throughout the US in the 19th and 20th centuries.

FCNL urges lawmakers to permanently extend pro-family tax credits that have repeatedly proven effective in preventing poverty.

In a new study, Salih Booker of the Center for International Policy and Diana Ohlbaum of the Friends Committee on National Legislation explain how the current, militarized U.S. approach to “national security” perpetuates racism and causes immense harm to people of color at home and abroad.

In a meeting closed to the public, the Senate Armed Services Committee approved a bill adding a massive $25 billion to President Joe Biden’s already bloated Pentagon budget request.

FCNL applauds today’s vote in the House to repeal the outdated and overstretched 2002 AUMF used for the Iraq War.

FCNL joined more than 100 national organizations in signing a letter to President Biden urging him to block the delivery of $735 million in weapons to Israel.
