Peace and Justice

The Annapolis Friends Meeting (AFM) Peace and Justice Center (P&JC) provides:

  • A place where people who want to champion peace and justice initiatives can clarify their ideas, gather resources, and organize efforts;
  • Opportunities for training and education about peace and justice methods and processes;
  • Safe space for people to dialogue about controversial public issues;
  • Networks and partnerships with individuals and groups who share peace and justice concerns; and
  • A more visible community presence for Annapolis Friends Meeting.

 

The AFM P&JC Welcomes New Initiatives

Do you have a strong idea, interest, or concern about an issue involving peace or justice? (It may be small or large in scope.) Are you willing to be a champion for your cause? Might you want to work with the Peace & Justice Center in creating an initiative around your idea?

If "yes", we encourage you to provide us with a brief proposal to engage in working with the Center.

Climate Change

Global warming is a critical global issue with solutions that are within our reach, if we are willing to do our part.  As the Chesapeake Bay is one of the most vulnerable areas in the United States to the impacts of climate change, those who love this special place have a particular urgency to take action for immediate solutions. Concerns about global warming and the passage in February 2014 of an AFM Minute on Climate Change led to the creation of the Climate Stewards of Greater Annapolis (CSGA) Working Group. 

The CSGA is comprised of members of various faith groups and non-religious organizations in the Annapolis area who are deeply concerned about this issue.  All are welcome to join CSGA efforts in education, outreach, advocacy, and public-policy making. 

CSGA bi-monthly meetings aim to further understanding of this complex issue (meetings for learning) and to coordinate diverse actions that aim to reverse climate change and reduce its impacts. If you are interested in learning more about climate change, would like to involved in local and national initiatives, or are simply curious about the issue, please visit the CSGA website.
