Quakers are getting ready for the Global Week of Action for Peace and Climate Justice. The witness from 21-28 September will highlight connections between war, militarism and climate breakdown. Charlotte Cooper, peace lead for Britain Yearly Meeting, told the Friend: ‘The week of action is a project of the Arms, Militarism and Climate Justice working group, and Quakers in Britain have been one of the main initiating/coordinating organisations. In practice, that means we’ve been heavily involved in outreach to peace and climate justice movements, the design of communications materials, and connecting people to each other.’
