@TJ1001 Exactly. The Palestine Action protestors seem to have been elderly #Quakers and retired vicars, getting forcibly arrested whilst clutching flasks of hot tea. That, apparently, causes “terror”. Whereas an intimidating gang of men in balaclavas is “peaceful protest”. 🤪

Kväkarnas andakt är stilla.

Kväkarnas vittnesbörd är inte alltid stilla.

Den här korta videon från Minneapolis visar Friends som protesterar mot ICE och står upp för människor som hotas.

Kväkare har en lång historia av att stå emot orättvisa, från Underground Railroad till dagens sanctuary-arbete.

Bön, stillhet och handling hör ihop.

This week, QUNO (Quaker United Nation Office) proposed practical ways to strengthen meaningful migrant participation in the United Nations Network on Migration’s (UNNM) fifth workplan covering 2026-2028. While numbers matter, success should not just be measured by the number of migrants participating in UNNM activities. See more here:

We have a group of primary-school-aged young people at our Children's Meeting who are all very different personalities. We're considering starting a #TTRPG to engage them all in moral discussions without it feeling like school.

Any recommendations for a game system that's easy to get started with for kids (and adults who've never DM'd before)?

Any ideas for possible challenges their party could come across?

Today in Stockholm, Friends joined #DenStoraKlimatDemonstrationen .

It felt important to be there. Not only because the climate crisis asks something of all of us, but because public witness matters.

It was also colourful and full of life: people gathering, walking, speaking, listening, and dancing.

Thank you to everyone who came, organised, carried signs, shared space, and helped make the day feel hopeful.

I like #Quakers for being trans inclusive. Thanks!

I also like their guns. 😜

RE: https://aus.social/@kate/116732744511240931

What a powerful statement on #Transgender rights from the #British #Quakers !

#Quaker #UK #TransRightsAreHumanRights #LGBTQ

RE: https://aus.social/@kate/116732744511240931

The more I learn about #Quakers, the more I have come to respect them. 👍

In 1945, thousands of German refugee children were living in camps in Denmark.

Danes had spent years under German occupation. Helping those refugees was not a popular position to take.

Quakers such as Elise Thomsen chose to help anyway - a reminder that compassion is often easiest in principle and hardest in practice.

David Rovics wrote a song about Elise Thomsen's work in post-war Denmark:

Margaret Fell is often called the “mother of Quakerism”. She was a voice of courage, conviction, and quiet strength.

Some fellow Friends (or, Quakers) have had an advertisement rejected from The New York Times because it calls Israeli actions in Gaza a genocide: https://www.theguardian.com/media/2025/jan/08/new-york-times-ad-cancel-gaza-genocide

The Bushel case of 1670, celebrated in a plaque in the Old Bailey, was that of two Quakers, William Mead and William Penn. Back then, nice middle-class liberals actually stood for something, and they wouldn't give up.

Sir Edward Davey take note.

I applaud those standing today in solidarity with Trudi Warner.
