How Quakers in Devon secured a home for people seeking refuge
People travelling to the UK today in search of sanctuary are making journeys that take them across land and sea, and are too often greeted with hostility and violence. This continues to be the sad reality for many people seeking sanctuary from war, climate breakdown, exploitation and poverty – all too often a legacy of colonialism in their countries of origin. Quakers involved in countering the UK government's own 'hostile environment' policies know that it is essential to provide refugees with safe homes where they can live and recover.

And Still We Rise: building collective action in the face of multiple crises
'And Still We Rise' brought together almost 1000 people and 100 speakers from 25 different countries around the world. It was the latest event in a long tradition of hosting movements for social justice at Friends House.

COP29 – could it be a COP of peace?
At COP29, world leaders are due to set a new global climate finance target. The last time a goal like this was set – in 2009 – 'developed nations' agreed to provide $100 billion annually by 2020 to help 'developing countries' reduce emissions and build resilience to the impacts of climate change. After much foot dragging and empty talk, the goal was eventually met in 2022.

Over time, groups and countries can start to use tactics that they earlier condemned, such as the use of landmines.
