As members of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), we believe that the human family is one family; that there is that of God in every member of this family; and that generosity of spirit toward all the members of the human family is of overriding importance.
As Quakers, we reaffirm our unconditional support for the wellbeing and protection of all threatened individuals in our community, especially at this troubled time, Muslims and undocumented immigrants.
We urge our government to reaffirm our country’s founding values, especially freedom of religion, to affirm our welcome to all peaceful refugees and immigrants, to reject bigotry and xenophobia, and to adopt laws and policies that respect the humanity and dignity of all people.
We call on our fellow community members to join us in defending human rights for all, in working toward nonviolent religious and civic sanctuary that protects all who are vulnerable, and in striving for compassion, dignity and safety for everyone.
