The Defence & Security Equipment International (DSEI) event, despite its sanitised title, is actually the world's largest arms fair. The recent week of action to stop it happening saw many inspiring acts of witness.

After the Gathering: 11 ways to live out our Quaker faith in the world
I left Yearly Meeting Gathering with a sense of hope for the future. It took me a while to identify this, given that the daily news discourages a feeling as impertinent as hope. This Yearly Meeting Gathering was the culmination of a three-year arc looking at living out Quaker faith in the world, and it felt like many seeds for change were sown. Which of these seeds will grow? Which will take root? Which will flourish for years to come?

Women's preaching still justified
Margaret Fell (1614-1702) was a key figure in the development of the early Quaker movement, handling money, letters, and practical support for people who felt led to preach the Quaker message. Quakers were criticised for allowing women to speak, and so – while she was in prison for allowing a Quaker meeting to be held in her home – Fell wrote a pamphlet, Women's speaking justified. In it she went through Biblical examples to show that women could, and always had, shared the word of God.

Telling a better story: Tax and climate justice
“[We] need to tell a broad story about the benefits of a just system of taxation, and to have the freedom to imagine what a holistic system may look like."Economics & Sustainability Subcommittee, minute ES 18/34. November 2018The climate emergency is not just a crisis of emissions, but a crisis of justice, both globally and locally. Climate chaos is deepening, and so are the chasms of economic inequality and social division. We desperately need a transition away from fossil fuels that is fast, fair and properly funded. We know that the costs of climate inaction would be catastrophic, in financial, ecological and human terms. And yet we are hearing increasingly strident voices claiming that we cannot afford to act.

5 reasons to go to Quaker meeting (number 5 is a surprise)
Quaker meeting for worship involves sitting together with others, either in a room or online, and trying to access stillness and silence in order to listen deeply. The aim is to hear what love and truth are saying to us, which many Quakers understand as God speaking in our hearts. That's pretty vague, though. Why specifically might you want to try meeting for worship for the first time?

A youthful Yearly Meeting
Children and young people are a vital part of Yearly Meeting. They gather to look at its themes in age-appropriate ways, build community, explore Quaker faith and practice, experience worship and prayerful decision-making, and of course have lots of fun in a safe space.

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.

How to support the anti-DSEI arms fair actions from afar
In September, hundreds of Quakers will descend upon the London borough of Newham to protest the set-up of the DSEI arms fair. DSEI 2021 featured over 1,600 exhibitors, including most of the biggest arms companies. This year is set to be no different.

The role of ordinary people
Ordinary people can do extraordinary things, for good and ill. We see this most starkly at extreme times, such as during the Nazi Holocaust of the 1940s. The UK remembers this each year on 27 January, and Quakers are invited to take part in Holocaust Memorial Day commemorations.
