Bump

Thanks GoddessArtemis. It was a collective effort with a few other women.

Cheers for the bump Redshoeblueshoe!

There will be more from Scotland probably but some of the people will put uk so there's more anonymity I would have thought.
Just because there's less chance of the tra tracking them down if they are a name from the uk rather than the much smaller population of Scotland.

Yup, that's true Ginkypig.

Signed, and glad to do so.

Lovely idea!

Signed.

This is good.

Hello everyone!! We have given the website a bit of a revamp so it includes a few more topics in addition to the Open Letter supporting JKR.

One awesome woman has worked hard to put together a glossary of terms and a summary of all the crowdfunding projects to date. I think it's a great resource, so feel free to use/share the documents as well if you find them useful too.

Even though the hostility towards J. K. Rowling might be considered 'old' news to some, our open letter is still up if anyone wishes to sign it.

Thank you so much to all who signed and publicised it previously. We are up to 1427 signatures in total with 370 from Scotland.

Nonny great website, just been for a look and signed open letter.

this is brilliant NonnyMouse - have you got good technical advice on protecting the website from attacks and protecting the letter etc? Obviously there are various means that are used to take down servers and hack/attack etc.

So great that you arre taking action though - I realised this morning that I feel so frustrated that I want to shout a warning to my friends (and all women obvs) and their daughters about the danger we are finding ourselves in but they don't want to hear it.

We've had the occasional juvenile keyboard warrior, but generally it's been fine.

I shall update the list of signatures as soon as I can, so you might find a delay in seeing your names appear.

Thanks, loads of good resources on the page.

Signed. Thank you.

Signed. Missed this when it was first posted.

Signed - missed this before.

Thank you NonnyMouse1337 😍

Signed as missed previously - thank you!

Signed. A bit fearful due to my work, but JK Rowling would do it for me, so knowing that, I pulled up my big girl pants and signed.

Thank you, Delphinium20 and others.

Signed. Thanks for posting this.

The womenspeakscotland.com site also has a useful page summarising all the legal cases that are currently crowdfunding to protect women's rights and free speech.

Very valuable and detailed list. And also links to the crowdfunders, which are well worth supporting.

Someone asked me the other day what were all these legal cases she'd heard about for feminism. I realised there are now so many I couldn't remember than all.
