The ReSisters movement is growing...

💪🍺🍺

Brilliant news! Let me know if there are any events or things I can get involved in xx

Shark if you are close to any of these groups, contact them individually. If not, start one of your own! We will help/support you.

👊❤️👊

I met up with liverpool re sister in Wirral area. Would help out at any events near Liverpool etc. X

Great news

well done!

This is great news.

Have followed all of these on twitter. Any Scottish resisters?

Thanks failing. Not sure at present, but if you are in Scotland there's nothing stopping you from creating a group of like-minded women.

Thank you Shark, can you DM us?

This is a really stupid question, but how does a group constitute itself as a ReSisters group? I'm in a fledgling group of GC women and we've been discussing what we want to do and how. So if we were to decide we want to be a ReSisters group, is it as simple as opening a twitter account and doing some stuff and posting about it?

Excuse my ignorance but what is Re Sisters?

morningtoncrescent62 How exciting for your group! There are no entry requirements to being a "ReSister". If you are pro women and want to work together on current issues as a group with a ReSisters name, you are welcome to do so. We tend to work by word of mouth and networking to ensure women are all on the same page with key current events issues, but each area and group will have their own focus.

If you would like advice or guidance, feel free to contact any current group - we are all quite friendly. If you would like a logo similar in style to the other ReSisters groups, get in touch and we can help.

This is being organised from the ground up, there isn't a rulebook. Just women-focused work.

Areyouongluedear - Liverpool ReSisters started last year in response to the attempt to silence women who wanted to discuss the proposed changes to the Gender Recognition Act. Our group was at the centre of the #stickerwoman controversy for a time, which provoked a report to the Merseyside police and eventually culminated in one of our group speaking in the Liverpool City Council chambers and mayor Joe Anderson shouting at her after the speech, saying he would "never" speak to women about our concerns.

Other groups of ordinary women - of all walks of life - around the UK have begun meeting together and forming their own groups to discuss politics, feminism and organise peaceful political actions.

Hope that helps explain things a bit!

Thank you
Is there one in London?

I know it’s been mentioned before, but do you have any plans to print t-shirts with your logo on? I think it’s great!

Another tshirt request here 🙂

Resisters merch will be coming soon, we're just setting up the network and then the inconvenient women sweatshop will be on it!

Looking forward to being able to buy my Lancashire ReSisters merch.

Yorkshire appears to be open for business !

Manchester is up!

Yay!!

Our local group in the North East is discussing becoming part of the movement too.
It's a brilliant idea to create an information and support network, while raising the profile of everything too. ManFriday ramped up to 11 .

Do watch it both for the Resisters statement, Mayor Joe Anderson's speech and the reaction from Liverpool Council:

Exciting news, HedgehogPoo! If you want a similar style logo to the other ReSisters groups, let us know. One of our number is the graphics designer.

Anyone in the cambridge/Northants area who'd be interested?

We'll try to update this thread when other groups show up. There is a lot of activity behind the scenes, and it's only the 2nd week in January.... keep your eyes peeled, 1Million.

There is a small group of women in Cambridge

Amazing thread! So exciting to hear about all these groups. They can’t silence all of us!

They can’t silence all of us!

No, they can't.

Newcastle and Birmingham are organising.

@1MillionSelfesTakenByMyKids we have a gender crit/rad fem group in Cambridge, contact on this page, though not ReSisters
www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/3374728-Call-for-gender-critical-people-in-Cambridge-UK

Apologies for place marking; I am hoping my area appears soon!

Terfnserf There's nothing stopping you from forming a group, just need to contact ReSisters United for a chat and support.

We can't stop anyone from forming their own groups, nor would we want to. But any coordinated effort would require a bit of vetting.

forwomen.scot/ are similar in Scotland

So glad Newcastle has popped up!

Anything in London? Was sad I missed the London meeting at the end of last year - would love to find a London group.

failing there's quite a few of us in Scotland. After not having anything to do with women's rights for next to half a century, I'm now a proud member of 3(!) new women's rights groups (2 national, one local) here in Scotland and also currently contemplating starting a small group near where I live. I know for sure that Edinburgh and Glasgow are very active, I think there is possibly a group in Dundee.

If you want to find out more, DM me, I'm happy to chat. I will also be at the first public meeting of our For Women Scotland group which is going to be on Thursday 31 January and would be happy to meet you there. I'm not going to go public on Mumsnet, but I'll be out and proud beyond my hometown in 2019. That's my New Year's Resolution and damn the consequences.

Thanks R0wantrees, I've also posted this event in its own thread now.

Birmingham is up.

twitter.com/ReSisterBirmin1?fbclid=IwAR1rsjDwGKpehcQZ2TJromP7eYuDlhFLSfIWxVonBTkVWqSVk7BVNIIfkBA

I am starting a tiny group of 1 called BedriddenReSisters! No, seriously, it makes me feel so happy to see this groundswell of true feminism arising. I am old now and unable to do anything physical to help, but huge mental support from me to you all.

Delighted to see Birmingham up!

Is there a way of contacting the Newcastle group, I am not on Twitter and when I googled their Twitter page it says not available.

I'm excited to see a Newcastle group, will have a look on Twitter!

wrt Newcastle, there's been some confusion behind the scenes, but hopefully it will be sorted soon.

Thanks. Is it possible to post when it's sorted, as an interested. in advance!

We will update the thread.

Can anyone clarify if a Newcastle resisters group is going to exist or is it going to be the one that's already been set up off the back of WPUK?

I realise that's coded, if you know you'll know what I mean!

There is no current Newcastle Resisters Group if someone wanted to set one up they could we have some cracking art work for it.

The existing group has chosen not to be part of the Resister network.

Ah ok thanks.

I noticed the twitter account that was listed on here for Newcastle was gone?

There was some confusion behind the scenes, nothing malicious. Hopefully sorted out soon.

Where is London...
How CAN you ignore London?!

I have a lot on right now, but happy to supporf anyone willing to take something forward.

London women are getting organised!!

This is all so exciting! 😀

Bristol - @BResisters
Gloucester - @GResisters

forgot the image.

I am loving the graphics - we all need t-shirts printed!

Is this finally the fourth wave then?

Anything else in the south east?

Is this finally the fourth wave then?

Whatever it is, it's making history.

Anything else in the south east?

If you want to start a group, message @ResistersU for advice/help.

Lurker here!

I’m in Bournemouth which is very conservative in nature and would love to find like minded women. I’m very shy in person so not sure if I’d have the confidence to facilitate something like this but would absolutely love to get involved.

Milton Keynes area anyone? I am not confident with social media but want to join a group and unsure that I could start a group from scratch, it maybe a group of one!

Terfnserf im in MILTON KEYNES! Would love to get an MKResisters set up!!!

I could make it to MK. Can one do group PMs on mumsnet?

Just a reminder to be careful, Sisters. No doubt our activities are being monitored by TRAs, and we wouldn't want anyone hurt or doxxed.

Not sure how the all-caps username happened. It's still us.

Good point Liverpool... Though I'm currently unemployed a SAHM and DH is already fully aware of my soapbox

Is there an Oxford one yet?

Not sure! Help! I want to help to start MKResisters!!

We can confirm, Cilla Black was a woman. As was Queen Victoria....

Thats awesome news.Am kind of taking it easy but keep me informed about lancashire and yorkshire stuff ;0D

* I could make it to MK. Can one do group PMs on mumsnet?*

No - you need to do individual PMs to people in your area. (It sounds like funkstar has volunteered to be the MK coordinator) Then, it's a good for everyone to advance search everyone else to check their posting history, and then if you're happy exchange normal email or set up a WhatsApp or whatever suits your group.

More pics on twitter if you search #adulthumanfemale

CharlieParley I'm hoping to be at that meeting on Thursday.

'it's a good ' ... it's a good idea...

This is brilliant. Well done ReSisters!!

I found a ReSisters group in north London over the weekend and have asked to join.

Exciting! I'm getting more and more militant by the hour so am itching for SOME ACTION

If you want to contact Hull & East Riding ReSisters but can’t access Twitter then PM me.
