Staying engaged after the election

Updated 25 September 2017

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.

Buddhists, Quakers and Catholics unite in resistance against fracking

Created 8 May 2018

As an intern at Quakers in Britain, I get to work alongside many different colleagues, including those who support Quakers who take action to keep fossil fuels in the ground. Quakers oppose hydraulic fracturing of shale gas – known as 'fracking' – as part of our testimony to sustainability. We advocate for investment in renewable energy sources as an alternative.

Speaking truth to power: Quakers and the Lobbying Act

Updated 2 July 2018

COP24: How did it go?

Updated 18 December 2023

This aim of the December climate change conference in Poland, known as the Conference of Parties 24 (or COP24), was to define an implementation rulebook for the Paris Agreement. After two weeks of exhausting, if not fierce, negotiations, how did it all go? It depends on who you talk to.

Climate strike: young people demand action

Updated 18 February 2019

"That's not democracy!" shouted the young people next to us, pointing their placards at the Palace of Westminster. "THIS is democracy!" And this demonstration felt more democratic than any I've been on. These young people chose not to be in school, coming instead to seats of power in over sixty towns and cities across the UK. From nursery-age on up, the generation that will face the most extreme consequences of climate breakdown are shaming today's decision-makers.

The US government's recent decision to withdraw from the bilateral Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty is an ominous development. Russia responded by announcing that it will follow suit, further contributing to this dramatic erosion of global security.
