We're celebrating hitting 400 followers on Bluesky. However, that's still 3500 fewer than we had on X. So if you could re-post this to your followers to let them know we're here and doing our best to make peace happen, that would be ace - thank you. #peace

This afternoon's Virtual Cenotaph at Friends House was an incredibly moving and powerful memorial to 100 individual people - each with their own lives, loved ones and stories - who make up some of those killed in war in 2024. Watch the film memorial.everycasualty.org @everycasualty.bsky.social
A projection that reads 'In Loving Memory, Medo Halimy, Political Science graduate and social media star. Killed by missile shrapnel, Palestine', around the face of a brown-skinned smiling man with facial hair and a cap backwards on his head. The image is being projected onto the front entrance of Friends House.

It seemed like Israel had been dropped from the list of countries with their own 'pavilion' at London's DSEI arms fair. However, the DSEI website is once again proudly confirming that they'll be there selling their genocide-tested weaponry. Join us in opposing DSEI: www.quaker-roots.org.uk/events/
