Your advocacy early this year will be critical to setting the agenda for the new Congress. Here are six ways you can be prophetic, persistent, and powerful advocates with FCNL:

1. Write Congress

Telling your story, and explaining why an issue matters to you, is key to effective advocacy. Please invite your friends and family to join you in this important work by signing up for our regular focused email action alerts: fcnl.org/alerts

2. Organize an in-district visit

Visiting the district and state offices of your members of Congress is a great way to start building a relationship. Learn the basics of lobbying and go to fcnl.org/congress to look up your member of Congress.

3. Bring FCNL to your Meeting

Organize your Quaker meeting, church, or faith community to advocate: fcnl.org/quakers

4. Form an Advocacy Team

Our FCNL Advocacy Teams are engaged in high-impact advocacy throughout the country. Learn how you can launch a team that will meet monthly and lobby members of Congress on a single issue for an entire year: fcnl.org/advocacyteams

5. Grow the Power of Young Adults

Join young leaders (ages 19-30) at our 2019 Spring Lobby Weekend, where we’ll advocate for comprehensive immigration reform. Not a young adult? Help us spread the word about this and other great programs we have for young adults: fcnl.org/youngadults

6. Support FCNL’s Work

FCNL can sustain 21 lobbyists on Capitol Hill and a growing, diverse network of volunteer lobbyists around the country because of financial support of thousands of people. Make a donation today: fcnl.org/donate
