Taking action to ban nuclear weapons forever
On Saturday 9 December campaigners gathered outside the Ministry of Defence to celebrate the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) receiving the Nobel Peace Prize. We were there to celebrate the efforts of campaigners from across the globe in achieving the landmark UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. But also to challenge the UK government's lack of support for the ban. This is a historic treaty and an important step on the road towards nuclear disarmament.

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.

This isn't belonging
Weirdly, I found myself agreeing when hearing retired Major General Tim Cross on BBC Radio 4's Today Programme, saying that army recruitment is "not about being nice", it's about "fighting power" against the "Queen's enemies". This nakedly militarist agenda at least has the merit of honesty. The General has been irked by the fresh crop of British Army ads.Marketing the military is a difficult business, with recruitment rates stalling (PDF). But the marketers seem to have settled on 'belonging' as the army's selling point. I'd like to call out the lie.

Crunch time for Policing Bill
The Policing Bill is a massive piece of legislation that includes many measures that go against Quaker values. These include longer sentences, expanding stop-and-search powers, restricting protest, and criminalising trespass. A lot of these will disproportionately affect people from marginalised communities.

Locked up in lockdown: the Quaker prison chaplains reaching out
There I was, on 29 February 2020, with around 20 Quaker prison chaplains and other Friends who work in the field of criminal justice, at the Quakers in Criminal Justice conference. We were watching 'Lock Down', a new play by Journeymen Theatre, about Ron, serving a life sentence, and Kathy, a newly appointed Quaker prison chaplain.

People-to-people diplomacy with Russian people
This initiative is an example of people-to-people diplomacy, also called citizen diplomacy. It describes the simple and sincere connections that members of the general public can make with others, despite obstacles caused by war and conflict. Diplomacy has many facets, and unlike traditional government diplomacy, this is open to anyone. It is one way that individuals can help create conditions for enduring peace.
