Heeding the voice of conscience: a call to continued action
On 15 May we marked Conscientious Objectors' Day. At one of the ceremonies around Britain, I joined people gathered in Tavistock Square, London to hear music, poetry and testimony in the leafy gardens where the conscientious objection memorial stone rests. We laid flowers for all those who refused to kill. You can watch a recording on the Peace Pledge Union website.

Reflections from Labour and Conservative party conferences
On Sunday 25 September I packed up my laptop, dusted off my smart trousers, and headed up to Liverpool for Labour party conference. The following Sunday, I travelled to Birmingham to rub shoulders with the Conservatives. The aim of attending the conferences was to gather intelligence on what the two main parties were planning, to build relationships, and to promote Quakers and their priorities.

Truth and integrity in a time of climate crisis
It was reported in January that the 'carbon offsets' approved by the world's biggest certification provider are largely worthless. The investigation into rainforest carbon offset credits approved by Verra found that more than 90% of the credits offered did not represent real carbon reductions.

Why should we protest against DSEI?
In 2019, when I was 15, I attended a protest against the Defence and Security Equipment International arms fair (DSEI) alongside hundreds of peace activists, many of whom were Quakers. We gathered outside the ExCel centre in London to block the entrance, share art, sing, and hold meetings for worship in remembrance of the countless victims of war.

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.

Phasing out fossil fuels: the political dynamics of COP28
Tens of thousands of people are flying in and out of the mega desert city Dubai to attend the 28th Conference of Parties (COP) on climate change. The setting is poignant; a once deeply poor, colonised land, now an oil rich country capable of quickly building a surreally unsustainable city.

The women of Swarthmoor Hall
Swarthmoor Hall in Lancashire was the centre of early Quakerism. It overcame raids by the local constabulary, complaints from the neighbours and a long-running dispute over ownership to provide an information hub, a safe haven for travelling Friends and a place for worship.

Deepening community and building spiritual connections
"I was required to be myself". It was a line in passing, in our Friend Jennifer Kavanagh's introduction to one of the sessions at Yearly Meeting in 2022. But it has stayed tight to me ever since.

General election manifestos: how do they fare on climate justice?
Quakers are committed to equality and sustainability. We want to see a world in which all living beings can thrive. The upcoming general election is likely to bring about a change of politics. What might this look like? And how can we ensure that climate justice is at the heart of future government action?

Lloyd's of London: underwriting exploitation?
When I ran workshops as part of the Exploring Faith and Climate Justice course in 2023, we talked about how the roots of our present-day climate issues could be traced back to historic practices of exploitation and extraction. I didn't expect that I would soon find such a clear example in my own campaigning work.
