Official MN presence at Reclaim the Night?

40 replies

Hello

A few of us are planning on going to Reclaim the Night on Saturday 27th November - do you think we could/should meet up under an official MN banner? Some of us met up at the feminist conference at the weekend and it was quite hard to know who was who, and some of us missed each other, which was a shame. Plus it's a march demanding the streets are made safer for women, so sounds pretty MN friendly.

Thoughts please :)

I'd like to meet up too.

Don't know London well, but Embankment sounds sensible since it's near the RTN assembly place. Is there only one entrance?

Hi TAFKA I'm going on Sat, would love to meet up too.

Not sure if there are any plans for a meet up yet...I'll be coming in to Charing X and walking down, maybe meet at Embankment tube??

Anyone else got any ideas or plans??

Hi, hope you don't mind me bumping old thread but I am hopefully coming to RTN on Saturday (if XH will have the dc!!) and would love to meet up with some MNers to march with. Where and when are you meeting?

I was thinking it might be worth starting a thread about Reclaim the Night outside the feminist section for any people who don't identify as feminists/all those other millions of feminists on Mumsnet who don't come to this section because we are all horrible.

not sure which topic though?

I'm going to the Portsmouth Reclaim the Night (not sure if anyone else on here is?) but i'm toying with the idea of going to MWR

UmYeahLikeTotally · 27/10/2010 17:07

I'm definitely coming. Would be great to meet up with anyone else as I'm coming on my own Smile

ROFL at my studious ignoring of SSM - anyone ELSE? :o

haven't really got that far SSM - what do you think? Yes was thinking of MWR as well, but one thing at a time :) I am the ultimate faux-MNer anyway with the continuing absence of actual motherhood so feel that other people's opinions are more valid on this.

I am definitely hoping people will feel ready to do this by the time of the Million Women Rise march in March.
It sounds like a good idea to me (though I'm only planning on going to the Leeds RTN, not the main one in London, so I doubt there'll be more than a handful of us there and I will be marching as my local group anyway).

Were you thinking of marching as Mumsnet Feminists or just as Mumsnet?
