A potential for a new arms race is not theoretical. History of nuclear proliferation demonstrates that when strategic constraints are lifted, competition escalates. Each country seeks to outmatch the other, stockpiling warheads, investing in advanced delivery systems, and expanding missile defenses. Such a cycle is costly, dangerous, and destabilizing. Without clear leadership and diplomatic engagement, we risk sliding into this perilous cycle.

Meeting for Worship with Attention to Music and Song
Please share the following exciting update and invitation from the South Jersey Quakers (SJQ) Project Team with your meeting community.
In their latest letter, “‘Living Song, Living Music, Living Faith’ — SJQ Next Steps & Spring 2026 Vision,” the team shares reflections on nurturing a living faith and announces concrete steps for growth, including formalizing as a non-profit.
Most joyfully, they cast a vision for a Spring 2026 Tri-Quarter gathering: a “Meeting for Worship for Music and Song.” This would be an expansive, intergenerational weekend of worship, fellowship, camping, shared meals, and creative joy, building on the beloved Fall Tri-Quarter spirit.
They need our help to make it real! They are seeking individuals and families willing to help host or participate, plus musicians, artists, food organizers, tech support, and energetic sponsors.
How to respond:
Individuals/Families: Reach out to SJQ directly if you feel called to participate.
Meetings: Please share this news during announcements and with your community as led.
Everyone: Consider if you have skills in outreach, planning, or creative arts to offer.
Let’s help them gather the critical mass of support needed to proceed. This is a wonderful opportunity to build vibrant, experimental community spaces across Burlington, Haddonfield, and Salem Quarters.

Quakers Uprooting Racism Coalition – Please Join on May 10 for a Free Anti-Racist Power Mapping 1/2 Day Workshop
How do we move from conviction to change? How do we recognize the systems of power that uphold injustice—and find the courage and clarity to disrupt them together?
On Saturday, May 10, Friends across the country will gather on Zoom for a free, half-day workshop on anti-racist power mapping, hosted by the Quaker Coalition for Uprooting Racism (QCUR). This session offers more than training—it is a space for spiritual grounding, collective discernment, and strategy-building for real-world justice.
Open to all, this event is especially for those seeking to align their Quaker faith with liberatory action, whether working for racial justice, peace in Palestine and Israel, or systemic change within their Meetings and communities.

In the context of current political landscapes, where a Trump-Vance presidential ticket may confront a multi-racial alliance of Democrats led by the daughter of Jamaican and Indian immigrants, it is crucial to maintain a focus on principles.
