Philadelphia Quarterly Meeting warmly invites Friends to gather for a day of worship, fellowing, learning, and shared discernment.

As part of the day’s program, Green Street Meeting’s Reparations Committee will convene an hour-long, interactive conversation on reparations work in Philadelphia. It is open to all and available on Zoom for broader participation, the session will offer a brief overview of the Committee’s work, small-group discussions on emerging project ideas and partnerships, and time for collective reflection and next steps. It is designed as an accessible introduction for Friends who are newer to this work.

An additional optional gathering starting at 9:30 AM will offer a more in-depth opportunity for those already engaged in reparations work to exchange practical insights and strengthen connections. Registration is open below!
