Climate strike: young people demand action
"That's not democracy!" shouted the young people next to us, pointing their placards at the Palace of Westminster. "THIS is democracy!" And this demonstration felt more democratic than any I've been on. These young people chose not to be in school, coming instead to seats of power in over sixty towns and cities across the UK. From nursery-age on up, the generation that will face the most extreme consequences of climate breakdown are shaming today's decision-makers.

4 things Quakers are learning about inclusion and diversity
Early in 2019 Quakers from all over Britain gathered at Woodbrooke, the Quaker study centre, to explore diversity and inclusion. Framed in Quaker worship, the talks and sessions looked at race, gender and class in particular. Here are some of the key things I took away from the gathering.

It’s time for schools to teach the climate and ecological crisis
Strange but true: today's UK school system prepares pupils for a future that simply does not exist. This extraordinary failing has led young people to self-organise and demand school-based education that acknowledges and responds to the defining challenge of their lives: the climate crisis.

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.

Everyday solidarity: love in action
Solidarity has been on my mind.The word solidarity has a rich history that dates back to Roman times and laws. For me it conjures thoughts, feelings, and actions that are rooted in mutuality, cooperation, and a sense of love or care for one another.

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.

Hope – the message of worldwide prayer
World Day of Prayer 2022 falls on 4 March. It aims to bring together women of various races, cultures and traditions in closer understanding. Each year a different country is selected to write the liturgy for a worldwide day of prayer and England, Wales and Northern Ireland had been chosen for 2022; the first time since 1945. WDP is an international ecumenical women's movement which began in the USA in 1887 and is celebrated annually in over 150 countries.

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.

Building a lasting peace: 25 years of the Good Friday Agreement
Most people over the age of about 35 with a connection to Northern Ireland will remember the Good Friday Agreement being signed. I do. I grew up just outside Belfast and at Easter 1998 when the Agreement was formalised I was 12 years old, on a canal boat somewhere in England. I wasn't blessed with keen political insight, but even I dimly grasped that what I was hearing on the radio was important.
