This event has evolved into something profound: a living demonstration of our journey from traditional aid to a deeper, more transformative commitment to mutual aid and decolonial justice with Native American communities.

Embracing mutual aid is not merely an act of service but a spiritual imperative for contemporary Quakers to live out their testimonies in transformative action.

War with Iran has pushed the genocide of Palestinians out of the mainstream media. Some believe this is intentional. I continue to believe if the people in this country really knew what has been happening, they would demand change. It is nothing short of ethnic cleansing. I write daily to share what I learn

I wish everyone had a spiritual community. I think a really important thing you can do now is to engage, or re-engage with a spiritual community.

I've been thinking a lot about a passage from Scot Miller's book, Gospel of the Absurd. He writes that intentional non-violent responses to specific situations are not usual "NOT because they are too difficult an ethic to maintain, but because we do not live in communities that seek out opportunities to embody such faith on a larger scale."

I had hoped the Global March to Gaza might do what no one has been able to accomplish, create the conditions for actions to bring humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza who Israel is intentionally starving. Unfortunately, the March was prevented from crossing Egypt to Gaza.

It is difficult to keep up with the myriad developments stemming from Israel's attack on Iran. Included is a new feature called the AI Advisor that allows you to ask questions about the war.

As a Quaker, a pacifist, and a human being, I am profoundly saddened by the Israeli attacks on Iran. In 2015, I worked closely with others for the successful approval of the Iran Nuclear Deal. I believe it is important to tell this story now, as a cautionary tale for future peace and justice work.

According to the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), the policies and violence Israel is perpetrating on people across the territories are "systematic and risk the erasure of Palestinians." 'Edge of Erasure' Report, https://unflinching.blog/2025/06/12/edge-of-erasure/

Across every inhabited continent, thousands are mobilising: marching, chanting, risking arrest, demanding justice for Gaza. This silence is not accidental. It is carefully engineered. Naziba Basher
