Today, 6 February 2018, marks 100 years since the Representation of the People Act was granted Royal Assent and became law. It was a landmark piece of legislation.

Choosing nonviolence in the midst of war
Sayyid* is from Bamiyan, Afghanistan. He's a member of Afghan Peace Volunteers, a group of young people committed to nonviolence – their campaign inspired our Fly Kites Not Drones peace education project. I met Sayyid 3 years ago in Kabul. He showed me how to make a kite from cheap bits and bobs.

During the day he studies, looks after his siblings and volunteers as a teacher. Recalling his unaffected laugh makes me smile.

There are many ways to take action against the climate crisis. More than 100 Quakers recently took part in a mass lobby of Parliament at Westminster, urging MPs to take action. Others have been involved in school strikes, anti-fracking action and activism with the growing Extinction Rebellion movement.It's also important to remember that the sustainability we might call for in other areas of our lives applies to our Quaker meetings and meeting houses as well. In my role I've come across many ways meetings are trying to make their properties more sustainable – and seen a lot of opportunities yet to be taken, too. Here are six ways to make a difference.

A joy and privilege of my work is spending time in the lives of Quaker meetings. Over the last few months, I've seen Quakers respond creatively, faithfully and lovingly to the challenges presented by Covid-19. This has led to worship happening in ways most of us would scarcely have dreamt of a year ago.
