"On May 15th, International Conscientious Objection Day, we join together to send a clear and powerful message: we reject militarisation and affirm the right to refuse to kill, in response to growing efforts to promote military service as a solution to today’s crises."

I missed posting this event but still acknowledge its significance to my #quaker community.
Holding conscientious objectors around the world in the Light.
As is engraved on the stone, "their foresight and courage give us hope."
This year the national ceremony on 15 May at the stone in Tavistock Square London focused on conscientious objectors in Russia Ukraine & Belarus & the role of women COs across history.
