Solidarity, friendship and faith in climate justice
'Solidarity' is a term that is often used in conversations around climate and social justice. We send our solidarity to those suffering on the climate frontline in the Global South, to those who are displaced by extreme weather events and to those protesting fossil fuels projects that will devastate their local environment.

Why does taking action for just peace in Palestine and Israel support our work for climate justice?
On 19 June this year, the UK Government tabled a bill that infringes on our right to use boycott and divestment as peaceful means of protest. The 'Economic Activity of Public Bodies (Overseas Matters) Bill' (or 'Anti-boycott bill') aims to prevent public bodies (such as local authorities, universities, some pension funds and other public institutions like the National Health Service) from making financial decisions based on ethical choices.

Building Quaker community
Every year I ponder what the theme will be for the new Contribution pack – the annual fundraising appeal of Quakers in Britain. I think about what's going on in the world, the economy, or, from a more personal viewpoint, whether I want it to be hopeful, to convey a story, or be inspirational.

Reparations reflections: truth and reconciliation
In this series of posts, we share the readings, and reflections, from the opening worship of regular meetings of the Reparations Working Group. This group of British Quakers has been appointed to take forward the commitment minuted by Britain Yearly Meeting in 2022 to consider financial and other reparations for the role of Quakers in the transatlantic chattel slave trade. You can find out more about this decision, and the actions which have flowed from it, on our reparations page.

Straight, not narrow: John Lampen addresses some misconceptions over the Peace Testimony
Some recent writing in the Friend has implied that our Peace Testimony contains a duty not to take sides when faced with the world's conflicts. This is a misunderstanding that could mislead Friends, and give a wrong impression about our peace witness.

Santa Marta and the great transition away from fossil fuels
The Santa Marta conference opens in Colombia on Friday 24 April. I was glad when it was announced at the end of the COP30 climate talks in Brazil, last November, as a way for countries that are serious about getting off fossil fuels quickly and fairly to plan how to do it together – without getting bogged down at COP with the likes of Russia and Saudi Arabia. It'll report back to COP but offers a faster path.
