Overview
Join to apply for the Volunteer Advocacy Teams Local Leader role at Friends Committee on National Legislation
.
Join with others across the country working on federal peace and justice legislation as a grassroots advocate. The Advocacy Teams Network is made up of more than 1,500 individuals from across the country who use their power as constituents to make change in Washington. Our success comes from our commitment to building relationships with Congress grounded in mutual respect and listening.
We are seeking engaged individuals based in the United States who hope to make a difference on peace and justice legislation in Congress. FCNL will help local volunteers build a local team of advocates united by our shared values and vision for the world we seek.
Activities will include:
- Fostering a team of advocates in your community
- Building an ongoing relationship with your members of Congress and their staff through regular lobby visits
- Writing letters to the editor
- Engaging with local media
Each year, the Advocacy Teams network lobbies on federal legislation related to peace and foreign policy. We invite you to join our network of teams across states to call on Congress to invest in peace through funding three critical conflict prevention and peace building funds. We use an intersectional lens to bring peace and justice to the national conversation.
