SUMMARY:Time to Make Polluters Pay: Ending Big Oil Profiteering
DESCRIPTION:You’re invited to a major Make Polluters Pay panel event and reception at London Climate Action Week. \n \nAs public anger grows over rising bills\, fossil fuel profiteering and worsening climate disasters\, we’re bringing together journalists\, campaigners and voices from the climate frontline to explore how public narratives are shifting\, what stories resonate most strongly\, and how legal and political breakthroughs can help build broader public support for accountability. \nMomentum is building around the world. European finance ministers are looking to introduce new windfall taxes\, a major tax loophole was just closed in the UK\, and climate litigation from the USA to the Philippines is taking us closer to accountability for climate damage. The Make Polluters Pay agenda is moving rapidly into the mainstream\, and London Climate Action Week is a key moment to bring the movement together. \nChaired by journalist Megan Rowling – Climate Home News\, the panel will include Steve Wright – General Secretary of the Fire Brigades Union\, Laurel Kivuyo – Climate Hub Tanzania\, Savio Carvalho – 350.org\, with opening remarks from Louise Hutchins – Make Polluters Pay Coalition. More speakers to be announced. \nThe event is organised for the Make Polluters Pay Coalition by Stamp Out Poverty and 350.org. With thanks to partners Oxfam and Global Witness. \nThere are a limited number of places available\, so please book your place now and spread the word – we’d love to see you there. \nSee more details on the Quakers in Britain Website.

SUMMARY:Quakers and a New Generations' Search for Religion - Talk by Lamorna Ash
DESCRIPTION:Lamorna Ash\, author of Don’t Forget We’re Here Forever (A new generation’s search for religion) will talk at Westminster Meeting House (and via zoom) on 20th June at 7 pm.  We hope she will help us in thinking about what might lead a new generation to explore Quakers\, even to make Quakers their spiritual home. \nAt the recent Yearly Meeting\, the question was asked\, “When we look for who is missing from our communities\, are they absent because we have failed to reach out or to be welcoming?” We hope this conversation might draw up some possible responses. \nBoth in-person and zoom tickets are available.  \nGet your tickets on the link below:  \nSelect tickets – Quakers and a new generation’s search for religion – Westminster Quaker Meeting House  \n
