Defend Our Juries
7 April 2024: Taking inspiration from the early Quakers’ principle of ‘speaking truth to power’ and the view that juries must be allowed to vote according to their conscience, climate choir singers met at the Monument in the City of London to sing Sing Truth to Power composed by Kate Honey. Defend Our Juries campaign is protesting that climate activists be allowed to state their reasons for civil disobedience (some judges are not allowing this). Choirs joined a silent Quaker Meeting and vigil near the Monument in the City of London. Singers and campaigners then walked to the UK Ministry of Justice bearing banners supporting Defend Our Juries at this vital moment for our democratic processes.
