In 1947, the American Friends Service Committee and Friends Service Council in Britain accepted the Nobel Peace Prize on behalf of all Quakers.  As a laureate, AFSC is privileged to submit an annual nomination to the Oslo Committee.  For 2009, AFSC nominated peace-scholar/activist Gene Sharp of Boston, Massachusetts for his lifelong work in documenting, analyzing, and disseminating worldwide use of nonviolent action to resist oppression.

The Nobel Peace Prize Nominating Committee of AFSC takes its opportunity to nominate a candidate very seriously and canvasses widely among Quakers and others for candidates worthy of this prestigious award.  We would like to invite you to participate in our quest for nominees for the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize.
