Conscientious objection is not passive. It is an active and deliberate engagement with one of the most serious questions a person can face: Would I participate in organized killing if my government told me to? If the answer is no, build the evidence for that answer now.

Over 50 youth & community members gathered at Stony Run Friends Meeting in Baltimore City to learn how to document their beliefs as conscientious objectors to war. Learn more about the event at https://stonyrunfriends.org/blog-conscientious-objection-the-selective-service-system-training/

For youth conscientious objectors, and those who support them, please visit Stony Run’s webpage on conscientious objection, and share our highly actionable, one-page leaflet: "Registering With The Selective Service System As A Conscientious Objector To War." (https://stonyrunfriends.org/co/)

The Gathering is a spiritual community of people from diverse households, counties, time zones, and nations. A past attender said: "It was so nourishing just to be there in person, and have many opportunities for spontaneous conversations." A Friend in high school shared: "I feel more connected to Quakerism and more confident and validated in identifying as Quaker." Fees go up on June 1 - Register today!

The Gathering is July 7-12, 2026 in Burlington, Vermont. June 1 is the last day to register children and youth, and it's the last day for the Pre-Gathering Retreat for Friends of Color. Registration closes at midnight on June 19.
