Womenโs Institute will no longer accept trans women as members from April
Exclusive: CEO says decision taken with โutmost regret and sadnessโ after supreme court ruling on definition of a woman
Trans women has been welcomed at the Women's Institute since the 1970s and one member is in her 80's and has been a member for decades. This is pure bigotry pushed by legal threats backed monetarily by JK Rowling.

Wow. BBC journalists are now not even allowed to report the censored line from my Reith Lecture, that Trump is โthe most openly corrupt president in American history.โ
You can hear how carefully theyโre forced to tiptoe around it. So chilling...

The most opposed budget in Vancouver history has been passed. This is precisely why people have lost faith in the council meeting โdemocratic process.โ When a decision is cooked to empower the wealthiest class and the armed force funded to protect them, it doesnโt matter how many show up against it.

Slide saying โThe truth about a cityโs aspirations isnโt found in its vision. Itโs found in its budget.โ
โIn my work with cities, one of my messages that resonates most is that the truth about the cities aspirations isnโt found in its plans and visions. Itโs found in its budget.
A budget may be the most powerful public policy lever a Council has, and the most authentic one because It reveals so much.โ
