Take Action

Suggest someone for AFSC to nominate for the Nobel Peace Prize

In 1947, the American Friends Service Committee and Friends Service Council in Britain accepted the Nobel Peace Prize on behalf of all Quakers. As a Nobel laureate, AFSC is able to nominate a candidate for the peace prize to the Oslo committee. Each year AFSC takes advantage of this opportunity, and we appreciate input from Quakers and other supporters. We invite you to participate in our quest for nominees for the 2013 Nobel Peace Prize.

Ask President Obama to investigate deaths on the U.S.-Mexico border

On May 28, 2010, Anastasio Hernández Rojas died as a result of a beating and tasing by U.S. Border Patrol agents in San Diego. We are asking President Obama to open an investigation into all the deaths caused by the U.S. Border Patrol along the U.S.-Mexico border.
