Staying engaged after the election
As Quakers, we have a long history of speaking truth to power and getting involved in politics. The election offered us a great opportunity to talk about important issues. Those debates shouldn't end now that it's over.

What should a confident Quaker voice for peace sound like today?
I'm standing in the kitchen when I read the news that the US military has abducted the president of Venezuela. I stand stock still for a minute, not believing what I'm reading.And then I realise I shouldn't be surprised. Somehow, that feels even worse.

Eight things we learned at Quaker Activist Gathering 2017
There has been a groundswell of activism in 2017, as people respond to threats to women's rights, freedom of movement and our climate, among many other things. As the government are caught up in the detail of enacting Brexit, we're seeing a shift away from lobbying towards less conventional means of influencing Britain's course.

Why should we protest against DSEI?
In 2019, when I was 15, I attended a protest against the Defence and Security Equipment International arms fair (DSEI) alongside hundreds of peace activists, many of whom were Quakers. We gathered outside the ExCel centre in London to block the entrance, share art, sing, and hold meetings for worship in remembrance of the countless victims of war.

General Election 2024: A guide to the manifestos
We are now just over halfway through the general election campaign. From the nation's racetracks, runways, and rollercoasters, UK politicians are reaching out to the public with their ideas of where to take society in the next five years. The recently released party manifestos provide a crucial lens through which we can evaluate how our values align with the proposed policies and commitments that our political leaders have made.

A youthful Yearly Meeting
Children and young people are a vital part of Yearly Meeting. They gather to look at its themes in age-appropriate ways, build community, explore Quaker faith and practice, experience worship and prayerful decision-making, and of course have lots of fun in a safe space.

The role of ordinary people
Ordinary people can do extraordinary things, for good and ill. We see this most starkly at extreme times, such as during the Nazi Holocaust of the 1940s. The UK remembers this each year on 27 January, and Quakers are invited to take part in Holocaust Memorial Day commemorations.

Preparing for Yearly Meeting through worship sharing
Yearly Meeting will be held at the end of April 2023. That may seem like a long time from now (it's only January!) but time steadily creeps on.We're asked to come to Yearly Meeting with hearts and minds prepared, and different people have different ways of preparing. Personally, I value worship sharing with other Friends. This is where members of a group share their thoughts and feelings on a particular subject, specifically within the structures of a period of Quaker worship.
