Witnessing against the arms trade at DSEI
"Our Quaker community is a gathering together of peacemakers. We gather, we sit together in silent worship, and we disperse again, knowing that the work of peace cannot be accomplished in our meeting houses, it can only begin there. We are convinced that the making of peace demands us to return to our world in love, to stand firm in public, to confront the “powers and principalities", and to assert that in this time of permanent war, no government which involves itself in the arms trade, no government relying on and colluding with a militarised system, can govern well or for the benefit of all. We are resolute and will not submit before a governing hand that subsidises, facilitates and profits from the sale of weapons to ruthless dictators in our name." – Part of Quaker Roots Epistle, a grassroots network of Quakers.

The long-term cost of war: how sending landmines to Ukraine undermines the fight for a mine-free future
After I spoke on the radio back in 2023 about peace and pacifism in the context of the war in Ukraine, I had a Quaker get in touch with me. One problem with war, he said, was its corrupting nature "even on those whose cause, like the Ukrainians, is just". Over time, groups and countries can start to use tactics that they earlier condemned, such as the use of landmines.
