Key issues

International peacebuilding

Peace and security can never be achieved through violence. AFSC advocates for economic and social systems grounded in nonviolence and shared security.

Creating inclusive communities

AFSC works to build power with communities in the U.S. and around the world who are impacted by violence and oppression, including immigrants, people of color, Muslims and other religious groups, young people, and LGBTQ people.

Defending immigrant rights

In multiple countries, AFSC works to address the economic and political drivers of migration while supporting migrant communities. Our immigration programs include legal services, training, human rights monitoring, humanitarian relief, immigrant-led organizing, and advocacy for humane immigration policies.

Ending mass incarceration

AFSC strives to promote healing – instead of punishment – in the U.S. criminal justice system. We advocate for alternatives to incarceration, better reintegration after prison, an end to prison privatization, more humane conditions of confinement, and ultimately, the abolition of prisons.

Building economic justice

We support just economic priorities and policies, challenge corporate abuse of human rights, and advocate for increased access to basic resources. We also provide tools to help people and institutions make socially responsible investments.

Justice in Palestine and Israel

In the U.S., AFSC supports efforts to change government policies and corporate/institutional practices that support inequality, the occupation, and denial of refugees’ rights. In the region, AFSC challenges the fragmentation of Palestinian society and the militarization of Israeli society to call for full equality between Palestinians and Israelis.
