International Women's Day Mass Cancelling of Labour Memberships Action

243 replies

I am passing on an action started by @mayday4women on Twitter; they aren't on Mumsnet so they said I could post here for them.

Basically they are getting a lot of women contacting them saying they are cancelling their Labour memberships due to the decision by Labour's NEC to essentially take on self ID as party policy in every area, including re AWS. And they think it'd be a more powerful statement if women did it en masse together on International Women's Day, which is the 8th March (Thursday).

The idea is to let Labour see how important this is to women, and how badly they are letting women down. Everyone can always reinstate their memberships down the line, but this is a way to be seen and heard, and to make a statement. I'm not a member of any political party myself right now, but as I say I am passing this on and doing all I can to support my sisters in the Labour Party.

Mayday for women are drawing up a statement, and you can get in touch with them directly if you want to let them know you are taking part in the action: mayday4women@gmail

Cheers!

In the interest of full disclosure I am not now nor ever have been a member of any UK political party.

The big picture is that society does not approve of women who reject the zombie lies men tell about themselves.
That is now and has been the big picture of every culture on the planet for several hundred of years.

So how many of you are actual members of the Labour Party very few , you have just all jumped on the hate bandwagon without looking at the full picture

Obviously, everyone who emails as the point is to resign.

Why not explain this whole picture, been waiting for thus for months.

Perhaps you could give us the full on trans women continuously beating born women in female sports competitions due to their physiology then ?

And the same pattern of violent behaviours found in trans women as in other biological males ?

And the issues
Just to begin ?

I have, sally. Most of the women on here have taken the time to educate ourselves on this and recognise the misogyny in the trans movement and the fact that it’s men’s rights activism in a dress. The sheeple are the ones like you who bleat that transwomen are women and call other women TERFs without bothering to apply any critical thought. All for virtue cookies and male approval.

Ritzsltedcracker far from dim, that's for sheeple like you, Look at the bigger picture

Ritzsaltedcrackers · 06/03/2018 17:42

Oh go away sallyannemum, you dim handmaiden.

Patodp · 06/03/2018 17:37

I left Labour already as a member over erasing women.
Can I add my name?

I'd like to remain anonymous because the TRAs will attack wherever they can.

So how many of you are actual members of the Labour Party very few , you have just all jumped on the hate bandwagon without looking at the full picture, s for not having your names in a public place, Why not that's no different to what the uneducated TERFS have done to Trans Women, they have outed them publicly even to employers,

TERFragetteCity · 06/03/2018 16:13

Email is [email protected].

And done. I left last month over this so happy to be added to the list.

Brilliant idea... any chance you're pasting on Chat and AIBU as well for traffic? Congrats...

I’ve already e-mailed them and agreed to be part of this but like wandering said I’m also a bit worried as I work in schools and in the public sector.

They have said that if you e-mail your interest they will be in touch once they’ve put the letter together so nothing will go out with your name on without consent.

I've just tweeted them to ask re what details they are looking for and will post as soon as I hear back. I would definitely get in touch even if you have already cancelled your membership...

Wanderingwomb I'd ask them about the possibility of remaining anonymous. I'm sure there will be many in that position.

LifelongVaginaOwner · 06/03/2018 15:01

Hi @CompanionUnderstands If you've already resigned because of this issue then contact them. I think they want you to provide your CLP, but you could drop them an email first. I've seen at least 1 woman who has already resigned and asked to be added to this action

Wanderingwomb · 06/03/2018 15:00

This is great but sadly some of us cannot risk the threat to their careers of publicising their names. I really can't believe it's come to that, but it has.

CompanionUnderstands · 06/03/2018 14:58

What about those who have already resigned, do Mayday4women want others to add their name?
