Fifteenth Street Friends Meeting (Quakers)

Fifteenth Street Monthly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends has had a historic commitment to social justice, drawing on Friends’ conviction that there is that of God in every person. Friends have been active in the abolition of slavery, the advancement of equal rights for women, fairness in immigration, and ending war. Friends commitment to simplicity—to resisting materialism and consumerism—finds expression today in work on behalf of sustainability.
