To Friends Throughout the United States:
Greetings in the Spirit of Love.
We write to share with you an “Urgent Call to the Religious Society of Friends” concerning the current extensive threats to our U.S. democracy. We are led to speak out against the lies, extremist movements, and anti-democratic actions that are the opposite of our Quaker understandings of integrity and Truth. This Call was prepared by a group of nineteen Friends.
We encourage your prayerful discernment of this “Urgent Call” and ask you as individuals, monthly meetings, yearly meetings, and Friends organizations to consider how you might be called to act with integrity in response to these concerns.

Minute 06.09.2020.1 Friends decided that we would not meet at Greene Family Camp in September. The YM planning committee is asked to begin planning for a Fall 2020 yearly meeting session to include online and possibly in person aspects. They will include others in the planning as needed.
We will ask the treasurer to arrange with Greene Family Camp to meet at Easter in 2021. The minute was approved.
Your help and suggestions are welcome in planning 2020 Yearly Meeting Sessions for September 24-27, 2020. Please email the clerk of Yearly Meeting Planning Committee, Tom Ivash, at ymplanning@scym.org if you can help.
