The BYM Global Majority Caucus is a space for BIPOC/Global Majority Friends to gather for worship, fellowship, solidarity, and community. To join the GMC GoogleGroup, email daquanna.harrison@gmail.com.
A Note for Those Friends Who Are Not A Person of Color/A Part of the Global Majority: We appreciate and love that you care enough for us that you want to join the Global Majority Caucus. However, we ask that you allow this space to only have people of color in it. You can learn more about Quaker affinity spaces in the October 2025 issue of Friends Journal. If you want to provide a message or email to the GMC please email both of our Co-Leads: Daquanna Harrison, daquanna.harrison@gmail.com and Rashid Darden, rashid.darden@gmail.com
