A Quaker Take

#23 – Q:Witness – Making witness happen


Listen Later

This episode of #QWitness focuses on making witness happen, shifting towards a movement-focused approach from a more information-based one.
We chat to Gurpreet Bola, Hannah Smith and Maya Williams about their work to support groups to take action on different issues and how you can access this.
We also catch up with two people who attended the Quaker Activist Gathering earlier this month. Lesley Grahame gives an update on supporting the ban on nuclear weapons and Laurence Hall talks about his concern around housing, particularly around justice for residents of Grenfell Tower.
