Join Quaker Call National Meetings
Next Meeting: October 18
Our next national video call, on October 18, will be a meeting for worship with attention to democracy.
On September 20 we were inspired and encouraged to hear from Friends about their ongoing testimony against the rising threats to our election. You may see the video here.
On our next zoom call on October 18, we will hold an unprogrammed Quaker meeting for worship.
We have been touched by the ways in which so many of you are engaged in important and creative election protection actions. Now we believe the best additional preparation that we can offer each other is worship as a help to stay grounded.
We do not know what new and serious threats may arise before we gather again on October 18. We will therefore leave room toward the end of the worship for some time to discuss our response.
Please join us then, over Zoom video conferencing, from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) • Sunday, October 18.
Register here for the October 18 meeting

Resources
Election Defense Resources
We have compiled a list of important resources to help you join the effort to protect the mid-term elections.
Election Defense Scenarios
We want you to know about an important new resource. Election Defense Scenarios, by Daniel Hunter, is a 73-page field guide for protecting democracy in the 2026 mid-term elections. This resource includes 18 detailed scenarios—from voter roll purges and redistricting attacks to armed intimidation at polling places and post-election battles over the certification of vote tabulations.

Love as Action Vigils
Love As Action
The American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) invites Friends and people of all faiths to gather in Quaker-led silent worship all across the country—to share witness to the rising authoritarianism and oppression in the United States.
By standing together in silence, we affirm that every person has worth, that fear and violence must give way to love and fairness, and that our communities thrive when all are welcomed.
Go to https://afsc.org/love-action to find a toolkit for organizing an action with your Quaker community, links to register for a planned Love as Action event in your area, downloaded posters, and more.

No Kings Posters for Friends
The Indiana Friends Committee on Legislation has created a set of posters for Friends to use in the No Kings Day protests, and wherever Friends gather to protest tyranny.
