Quakers Australia has endorsed the recent inter‑Quaker statement: “Quakers discern genocide is occurring in Gaza and urge courageous action.” This statement was issued in late July 2025 by eight Quaker organizations. afsc.org/newsroom/qua...

In protest of the starving of Gaza, we are eating no food and drinking nothing but water from sunrise to sunset. We hope our small symbolic act encourages an end to this terrible and preventable catastrophe.

On World Hunger Day Australian Quakers are fasting in solidarity with Gaza. We are devastated and outraged by the relentless bombings and the withholding of the basics of life, including food, for over two months by the government of Israel.

The Australian Democracy Network and 22 civil society groups have sent an open letter to the Victorian Premier, urging respect for the right to protest and opposing proposed protest laws. Now is the time for MPs to hear from their constituents.

Quakers Australia is also on Bluesky! @quakersaustralia.bsky.social
Just a quick clarification: You didn’t see us on today’s list of Quaker groups leaving X because we were never on the platform to begin with.
From today, we will no longer be posting or engaging on X.
The disinformation and hate on the platform mean that it is no longer a useful communication tool for us. www.quaker.org.uk/news-and-eve...
Quakers Australia’s George Fox birthday celebration took place during our July Yearly Meeting hybrid proceedings in Adelaide, South Australia. As this year marking the 400th anniversary of George Fox’s birth ends, we reflect on the spiritual vision of Fox and friends that shaped the Quaker movement.
