Remembering the conscientious objectors of World War I in Kansas City

What does climate breakdown have to do with our work on migration?
Much of our current political discourse engages with climate change and migration each in isolation. This deflects the necessary conversations around power, distribution of resources and justice. It also divides our efforts around creating a peaceful and just world.

As a membership organisation, it offers much more than a residential space but that's what we needed as we gathered together in warm May sunshine.
