One Year Later: 11th April - National Day of Action

Seconded.
The 199 Days demo was, despite our legitimate anger and frustration, a joyous occasion. The organisers are grassroots women, giving up their time to organise this. All on a shoestring. I don't know them but I recognise them from being to many events.
They have my heartfelt thanks and appreciation.
Looking forward to being in London.

Lots of well-known Terfy women (and Mr Menno 🥰) at the previous London demo

@IwantToRetire And posting that there are events in all these other places and not provide details, how do you find out where to go.

The OP contains date, time and place.

I’m wary of going to a gathering that I don’t know
wjo organised it. It’s hard to trust anonymous groups

Thanks for all your efforts organising this. I went to the 199 days demo and will be at Saturday's too. I've had the info via WRN, Sex Matters, X and, now, MN too. Surely nearly all Terfy women will be getting info from at least one of those sources? (I would rather sit on rusty nails than go back on Facebook btw)

Its a complete myth about not being able to use facebook!

Of course you can.

If you want to stay of a social media platform that is actually being boycotted by feminists and feminists groups and can NOT be read by people who are not signed up that it your choice.

And posting that there are events in all these other places and not provide details, how do you find out where to go.

If the text is already typed up somewhere why cant you post it here on FWR. Nobody is here under their own name.

Its sounds like all the really strange rules that WRN has.

I'm not meaning this to be a personal attack, but can you not understand how mystifying this is.

You say you want women to join in, but you dont want to tell them how ...

Well the timing is the point, but it's not just about Scotland, is it? Of course it's shame if it reduces numbers in Edinburgh.

I have tickets for the FWS panel which is on the same time As the rally in Edinburgh. I think I’m surprised another rally is organised at the same time. It seems a bit undermining of them but I assume whoever organises the rally has spoken to fws

Seriously, if that was the case why was it posted on twitter.

This "excuse" is always being rolled out.

In the end it comes down to are you running a campaign and hope to get as much support as possible, or are you running a day out for friends to the share the after glo of having a day out with each other!

For Westminster can I suggest people attend prepared to sing? There are protests there every day of the week and those in the immediate area find it wearing. The farmers with the tractors did raise some smiles with Baby Shark blaring off the horns but it was still a lot. Anyway the noise is so regular that it gets filtered out/ignored as much as possible …. Singing and beautiful noises on the other hand would be better received… more flies with honey and all that… can people post the words/music to songs here? For Womens Rights are Human Rights etc?

I’m in WRN and very often things will be shared with the request to share to trusted groups only - I assume for fear of TRA violence. Mumsnet does get a fair few TRAs so that might put groups off sharing (though agree that the counter demonstrators always know anyway).

Just so strange. I now I have posted about this before, but cant understand going to the bother of organising something like this.

But maybe it is just a day out for friends.

And now that I have thought it, really do thinks groups like this who are somehoe enraptured by TwiX could so easily just have a thread on FWR and update as an when.

And not only is it free it can be read with out having to subscribe!

Agreed, it's not easy to find out info, having to faff around with nitter, etc. I knew about this cos I'm on the SM mailing list, but if you aren't...

Not exactly making an effort to do out reach.

X one of the least used platforms which can be acessed by nitter which no one has ever heard of .....

But really think women's groups should be encouraged to join MN and then without having to ever take part in a discussion, each can start a thread about forthcoming event, provide updates, wont have to pay a penny, and CAN BE READ by those who are not signed up.

I'll be at the Cardiff protest. Welsh Govt is totally captured and the likely ascent of Plaid and the Greens at the upcoming elections will push us further back in the fight for single-sex spaces. Women just don't matter do they!

Been following this with interest, will at the Manchester one. As it's only down the road, but be rude not to!

Or use nitter to see anything on X without having to register:

Sex Matters in promoting this on their web site, so hopefully that will let a few more know about it.

There is an ‘all women’ feminists group in Plymouth that have called for a Resistance day on that date. The Queer/Trans combi is very loud there. Just heads up, although I imagine you have already considered this eventuality.

Will checkout the groups on social media. i’m more in the camp of pissed off women than on the poor men with women feelings.

Is anyone going from Brighton to the event in London? I’m looking for company.

I seem to recall hearing someone say we need to be quick they are going to release the Tr**ns! (Not sure if this word is allowed?)

The last one I went to was 2 hours in total. Very strict due to police liaison. The policing was fab too! The transactivists met in a square nearby and when they tried to march towards the women's rally the police said no stay there and didn't let them go for the entire time. We were able to match and listen to the speeches.
