NYYM Friends' Peace Action

Introduction

Friends in monthly and regional meetings of New York Yearly Meeting are encouraged to speak out in opposition to war. This is especially urgent in response to the threatened invasion of Iraq.

Offers of help and requests for information or assistance may be directed through the New York Yearly Meeting office.*

Friends may also find it useful to consult
  • the text of the amicus curiae brief New York Yearly Meeting submitted in the Rosa Packard tax case, which has good material on Friends' historical opposition to war,
  • the minute from Brooklyn Monthly Meeting on immigrant detention endorsed by New York Yearly Meeting
