News from Abingdon Peace Group
Posted: 1st April 2022
Upcoming online events: Emily Johns, Ukraine & British Pacifism + some horrendous info about the Home Office.
Dear Peace Group supporters,
It has been very heartening to see you turning out every Monday morning at the War Memorial at 8.15 – 8.45 to make it clear that we oppose the war in Ukraine. (Even if some of us forget from time to time – sorry!)
Below is an email from Peace News with some really interesting-sounding online events, do take a look.
And below that I have pasted an email from the excellent Open Democracy with the news that the Home Office broke all sorts of laws to steal arriving migrants’ mobile phones and harvest their data. Truly shocking. Do support OpenDemocracy to do more of this important journalism if you can.
May peace prevail,
Sally
