No War With Iran
We strongly condemn the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran. We mourn the lives already lost as a result of these unlawful and reckless attacks – including at least 40 school children killed in Minab.

You can join online for FREE, with donations appreciated. The online sessions will be guided by Jin Young Lim and Sensei Dainin Lau.

I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home.
But did you look at the judge's order?
It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept."

A year ago today, Quakers around the country sued the Trump admin. to stop ICE raids in houses of worship.
