Trans people are not a threat to women’s safety.

Over 52,000 women have signed the open letter to say not in our name.

Will you join them?

Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this.

You're welcome

Thousands seen sitting with placards that all read β€œI oppose genocide. I support Palestine action.” Big Ben is seen in the background

Thousands seen sitting with placards that all read β€œI oppose genocide. I support Palestine action.” Big Ben is seen in the background

NEW: Parliament Square, London right now.

Thousands in a silent, peaceful protest against both the genocide in Gaza and the UK Government prescribing protest group Palestine Action as a terrorist group.

Police now making arrests.

Met police arrest activists holding signs referring to Palestine Action Officers arrest protesters day after direct action group banned as terrorist organisation

One month ago, the Supreme Court made a ruling that rolled back trans rights in the UK

It made this decision without listening to a single trans voice

Today, to mark the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia, we’re bringing those voices somewhere they can't miss them πŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈ

We're bringing a legal challenge to the EHRC’s β€˜Interim Update’ A number of trans and intersex individuals have today begun a legal challenge to the EHRC’s β€˜Interim Update’ following the For Women, Scotland decision

🚨 NEW 🚨

We don't believe the EHRC's 'interim update' on trans people's rights is lawful.

So we’re bringing a legal challenge
