Statement on United States attack on Iran

Multnomah Monthly Meeting of the religious Society of Friends (Quakers)  joins with the Friends Committee on National Legislation (FCNL) and others in condemning the unprovoked attack on Iran and calling for immediate deescalation.

“As Quakers, we affirm our longstanding opposition to war in any form. This opposition is rooted in the teachings of Jesus and our Quaker forbears. We urge the administration to pursue immediate deescalation and a swift return to negotiations. This war of choice is unnecessary, illegal, and immoral. Our faith declares that peace is possible. With FCNL and allies, we will continue working with Congress and peace advocates across the country to pass the Iran War Powers Resolution, end U.S. involvement in this war, and build a future grounded in international cooperation, justice, accountability, and lasting peace.”
