Dear Friends,
July’s collection is for the Quaker Council for European Affairs (QCEA). We call it our Quaker voice in Europe. But the voice isn’t just for the European Union, it is heard in this country and in the Council of Europe (47 member states) and the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (57 member states) – and perhaps by NATO. QCEA’s current portfolio of causes includes migrants and migration, militarisation of the EU (now prominent in its new budget), and a programme called ‘Climate, Peace and Human Rights; Are European Policies Coherent?’ which has a gender focus for peace-making.
QCEA didn’t overspend during lockdown, but it will be needy in the coming years. With a new Director it now has a staff list impressive for professionalism and (if I may say so) for diversity.
