Join Mererid Hopwood and Jenny Mathers, editors of Yr Apêl/ The Appeal 1923-24, alongside Welsh journalist Betsan Powys, for a discussion on the historic Welsh Women’s Peace Petition. A century ago, Welsh women envisioned a world of peace, rallying nearly 400,000 signatures to urge American support for their cause. This event revisits a remarkable chapter in history, seeking to inspire a new generation of peacemakers. Discover how ordinary citizens can make an extraordinary impact on the world.

Join us in reflecting on this powerful story of hope and action.
