Racial injustice and the Policing Bill
The Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill aims to equip the police with new powers, introduce tougher sentencing where serious harm has occurred and modernise existing court processes. Quakers have many issues with this bill, and recent blogs have explored the impact on the right to protest and action you can take. This blog focusses on how the bill embeds racism further within the criminal justice system (CJS).

Why compassion needs to be at the heart of our response to Channel crossings
Over the past months hundreds of fragile, overloaded boats have made the perilous crossing over the English Channel in search of refuge. For many of the men, women and children on board this is the last stage of a dangerous journey that may have taken them months or even years. They have been fleeing from war torn countries such as Syria, Sudan, Libya and Iraq, from repressive states such as Eritrea, and from countries like Mali where climate change and political unrest put lives at risk.

Are Sundays more sacred?
“Now there were many old people who went into the chapel and looked out at the windows, thinking it a strange thing to see a man preach on a hill, and not in their church, as they called it; whereupon I was moved to open to the people that the steeple-house, and the ground whereon it stood were no more holy than that mountain…" (George Fox, Firbank Fell, 1694)

Racial justice learning for Quakers: a reflection
During June and July I joined approximately 80 other Quakers in a series of five online workshops initiated in response to the killing of George Floyd, and the growth of Black Lives Matter protests in the UK. I didn't believe that I was racist; I certainly didn't want to identify as racist, but I knew that I might be clumsily unaware of some of the challenges faced by people of colour. I hoped that the workshops would increase my understanding and develop greater insight into effective allyship.

An immense shift is taking place. In less than a year more than half the UK's local authorities have declared a 'climate emergency'.

Targets vs delivery: addressing Scotland’s greenhouse gas emissions
Recently Scotland published its greenhouse gas emissions statistics for 2020. These data showed a fall in emissions, and yet many, including myself, hold serious concerns that Scotland will not meet its ambitious climate targets.

Reflecting on our action for the planet
Quakers do not have a creed, a statement that sums up our core beliefs, but for centuries we have used a short list of Advices and queries to guide us to question ourselves and discern how we are each led to act. Tellingly, they are offered 'for the comfort and discomfort of Friends' while we seek our own ways forward, listening for the inner Light.

It's time to Build Back Better for a safe and just future
Even as the Covid-19 lockdown rules are loosened, I am hearing many people say they believe things will never get 'back to normal'. Of course, we all crave a 'normal' where we can see our friends and family, and where key workers can do their jobs without fearing for their lives. But 'normal' was a state of affairs that was failing millions of people.
