The ReSisters movement is growing...

Great news

well done!

[Manderleyagain]

This is great news.

[failingatlife]

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

[LiverpoolReSisters]

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?

[Areyouongluedear]

Excuse my ignorance but what is Re Sisters?

[LiverpoolReSisters]

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!

[Areyouongluedear]

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!

[tubspreciousthings]

Another tshirt request here 🙂

[Thisisouting]

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

[Melanippe]

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

[Melroses]

Yay!!

[HedgehogPoo]

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 .

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.


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

[LiverpoolReSisters]

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?
