AFC Commitment to Racial Justice
In every Alaska Friends Conference decision, Friends shall consider this query: "How does this decision move us toward our goal of becoming an actively antiracist community?”
AFC shall strive to increase financial and practical support for work for justice and social reform led by Black people, indigenous people and people of color.
Attached, and pasted below, is the Epistle from our Annual Sessions held at Dickerson Friends Center in August 2021. An Epistle is a Quaker document that summarizes the gathering, and often is sent out to "Quakers Everywhere."
Also attached and pasted below is our approved AFC Commitment to Racial Justice, which is mentioned in the epistle.
