I can't make it unfortunately

On Wednesday 11th September, we will be going to the UK Parliament to lobby MPs to stand up for single-sex services and make the Equality Act clear. Will you join us?

The new government has said it will protect single-sex services for women, but it hasn’t said how. The current approach isn’t working. Service providers and employers are afraid to uphold clear rules. Women are being forced to undress in front of trans-identified males in their workplaces and leisure facilities, are being searched by trans-identified male police officers, and cannot be confident that “same-sex” healthcare provision or support after domestic abuse or rape will be genuinely female-only. What is a lobby day?A lobby day is when people go to Parliament together to speak to their MPs. You write to your MP in advance to tell them you are coming and ask for a meeting.More details in link.https://sex-matters.org/take-action/lets-go-to-parliament/

I’m thinking of going if I can get the day off work and trains aren’t too expensive. Bit nervous tho, this is waaaay out my comfort zone.

I think the Women's Rights Network has done a big call out on this as well. I shan't be in the country, but I hope all you 21st century suffragettes have a great day. Sorry I can't add my voice to the event.

I might need the pub first, for a bit of Dutch courage. 😂

Thats the spirit!
If I sort myself out perhaps we can say hi to each other when there, and maybe there'll be group pub after...😉

Omlettes - yes me too, I don't usually have the time to do anything 'active' and I'll be travelling in from Wales - 4 hrs on a coach, but I think it's time I did a bit more than just cheer from the side lines. I'm not expecting great things from my MP either, but if it's keeps the pressure on then I'm willing to give it a go.

I'm going, I've got until then to practice my questions, I'm going to need more than 'What the fuck is wrong with the Labour Party' 🤨

My MP hasnt given me a straight answer on this for 6 years, and has wiggled out of a face to face on 4 occaisions, either that or his gatekeepers.
And this despite my donating to his campaign and mutual agreement on other issues.
So I'm thinking of going, although Im out of town, are you local or travelling?
I want to find someone to go with, Im coming from a very ground zero kind of place if you get my drift
