"The Friends Committee on Legislation (FCL) is a non-profit action group (established by Quakers in 1952) that works to bring more compassion and social justice into government by influencing law-making in the State Capitol. As a "lobby of conscience," FCL is charged with reminding legislators of the worth of every person, regardless of social standing, ethnic or religious background. We urge government to encourage individual and community transformations, and reject the idea that problems can be solved by violence."
