Pedestriansfirst“Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has caused nearly 2 million military casualties – killed, wounded or missing – between the two countries, according to a study published on Tuesday by the Center for Strategic and International Studies.” What a tragic waste. Maybe the world needs to give peace a chance. #War #PeacePledgeUnion
Starmer on war “Every part of society … Every citizen of this country … Has a role to play.” I think a useful role would be to join the PPU. #War #Peace #PeacePledgeUnion

Every year on May 15th we remember conscientious objectors, both past and present. Around the world many people are imprisoned or forced to flee their home countries for refusing to join the armed forces. On May 15th we stand in solidarity with them, as well as celebrating the memory of those throughout history who have resisted conscription.

moongoldLook to the Peace Pledge Union for your white poppy.
Read about the Co-operative Women's Guild work on minimum wage, maternity benefits and more, and the introduction of the white poppy in 1933.
KezTTook white poppies into work today - sold 4, which is not bad considering there were only 6 people in my team in the office;) #peacepledgeunion
