Spades out for Keep Prisons Single Sex?

81 replies

EmpressaurusOfWitchesBackFromTheDead · 05/02/2023 06:41

Keep Prisons Single Sex needs veg to keep it going and it’s especially important now, when people are finally taking notice of what’s happening in prisons.

The page comes up on a search for crowdfunder fighting for women in prison. Can anyone spare some carrots?

I did some gardening the other day and will do some more soon.
An amazing organisation which we need to ensure keeps going.
I was also brave enough to share it on my fb page. I know it’s a scary thing to do, but it’s a topic people seem to care about with the recent news.

Thanks for the reminder, will get the spade out!

It really important to support KPSS now, as you say Empress - Kate Coleman is doing a phenomenal job of uncovering the information some people would rather was left covered up, and getting the facts out there, and she’s a brilliant interviewee/communicator - there’s a momentum now which we really need to keep going.

The last couple of weeks have seen some significant changes in policy and a huge rise in public awareness - but we have to keep on pushing until there are NO MALES IN FEMALE JAILS!

YES, Roaring!

Kate Coleman’s quoted in The Times today:

It's appalling that we have to crowdfund, to get the representation our elected politicians should be giving us. Where are the Howard League, Penal Reform Trust even Women In Prison-they're all hopeless on this issue.

There is a vegetable show in Edinburgh on Thursday

Indeed. It’s shocking, isn’t it.

Put some carrots in last night.

QuetzalTerfLus · 07/02/2023 10:09

I contributed as much as I could afford this month - need to feel like I am doing something to keep future (and current) Isla-types out of women’s prisons…

I've just done a spot of gardening, so a wee bumpette for KPSS and all the hard work they do.

Yes. It’s the same for all crowdfunders on MN, I think there was a scam a while ago & since then direct links or appeals aren’t allowed.
