Conscience: Taxes for Peace Not War @taxesforpeace.bsky.social · 30/01/2026
MYTH: Conscientious objection is only about fighting. REALITY: It's also about funding war through taxes. That’s why some people campaign for the right to redirect the military portion of their taxes to peaceful purposes. Learn more: www.conscienceonline.org.uk/education-fo...

If powerful states ignore international law when it suits them, what’s left to prevent war? And who pays the price? At Conscience, we believe one answer is: stop treating war as the default, and stop funding it as if it’s inevitable. #PeaceTaxTuesdays
If international law doesn't matter, what's left to prevent war?

What are we funding? Not forced to fight. Forced to pay. A share of our taxes funds the military. Some people object and want the right to redirect the military portion to fund peace instead. Explore our Education for Peace resources → www.conscienceonline.org.uk/education-fo...

Refugee Action @refugeeaction.bsky.social · 29/10/2025
Hey Keir Starmer, get the memo? We’ve delivered thousands of messages to Number 10 from our supporters, with the help of some digi-vans! People are fed up with politicians choosing failed policies and scapegoating over investing in all communities. Time for real change.

START FIXING BRITAIN." drives past Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament on a sunny day.Four activists wearing Refugee Action t-shirts stand in front of 10 Downing Street, holding signs that support refugee rights in the UK.A truck displaying a digital billboard with the message "Everyone needs a safe place to live. Build homes and stop scapegoating migrants." from James, Spen Valley, parked in front the Home Office.Person standing in front of 10 Downing Street wearing a T-shirt that reads "SAY IT LOUD SAY IT CLEAR REFUGEES WELCOME HERE," with another person and a security officer in the background.

The ECHR was Britain’s response to WW2 fascist regimes. With authoritarianism on the rise again, we’d be mad to give up the protections it provides. Tell your MP we won’t let that happen! actionstorm.org/petitions/pr...

“We have 6,000 UNRWA trucks. Half carry lifesaving food and medicine, just hours from Gaza,” our Louise Wateridge says to NPR. “They could enter today — if there were political will.” Warehouses outside #Gaza are full. Inside, people are hungry. Let aid in.

UK climate and nature bill dropped after deal with Labour backbenchers. Appalling. Economics matters more than environmental destruction? If Labour isn’t about fairer distribution of what we can afford, what is it about?

Legal challenges to UK infrastructure projects to be blocked in push for growth. The notion that economics trumps environment is the reason we are destroying the world.

Last year 4,360 killowat hours of electricity came off my roof. Yet we still have new homes being built without solar and huge areas of roofs on schools, warehouses, hospitals, and factories going to waste.
