Quaker values in politics

Preparing for a general election

General elections are a key opportunity to influence future decision- makers. Although a general election hasn’t been called yet, it’s likely that one will happen soon. How can we engage with candidates to share our views and values?

Grace Da Costa, the new Public Affairs and Advocacy Manager at BYM, has written a blog and briefing on how local meetings can prepare for a general election. Read it at www.quaker.org.uk/blog and contact politics@quaker.org.uk with any questions.
