Many thanks to Joanna Frew, Outreach Coordinator at Rethinking Security, for speaking to us at our recent event Resisting the Arms Trade, Rethinking Security.
Rethinking Security is a network of organisations, academics and activists working together for security based on justice, cooperation and sustainability. Quakers are part of this network.
Jo helped us consider how we can create a security system that is grounded in the well-being of people and planet, and rooted in solidarity, justice and appreciation of our inter-dependence. You can view the slides below:
