by Rebecca Hardy 16th April 2021

Bristol Quakers are considering what they can do to support nonviolent campaigning against the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill. Several Friends in the city have been taking part in the ‘Kill the Bill’ protests that have been rising up in cities across England and Wales. Quakers including Fran De’Ath joined the local activism, upheld by her Meeting, as well as David Mowat from Central Bristol Meeting, who was invited to act as an observer on 26 March by Friend and experienced legal observer James Deane.
