Every time I check Twitter now I’m seeing black and Asian people being attacked by gangs of thugs in towns and cities around the country. We need to hear urgently from the government and they need to label this as the racist violence that it is.

This evening the far-right tried to target a mosque in Liverpool but were completely outnumbered by ordinary local people who won’t let hate win
71-year-old Pat was leading the charge

Ask your mp to join efforts to decriminalise abortion -amendment I have tabled expressly protects time limits and so anyone who suggests this represents abortion upto birth is wrong. All MPs can co-sign the amendment and support for equal human rights for every woman in the UK.

How can you express the varied experiences of D/deaf, disabled, and neurodivergent people in a single image?
Lizzie Griffin describes how she created this powerful image for our disability hub, read her story here:

ALT People with flowers and vines entwined around them to represent different disabilities. One woman is in a wheelchair, another has crutches and one man is on his hands and knees, holding his head as if in pain
I love that my PhD students did this! 🎃👻🎃

Today, a mother-of-three has been jailed for 28 months after using abortion pills to end her own pregnancy.
No woman can ever go through this again.
We need abortion law reform in Great Britain NOW.
#TimeToAct
Tomorrow, a woman in England will be sentenced for ending her own pregnancy.
The maximum sentence she could receive is up to life imprisonment - the harshest penalty in the world.
We need abortion law reform now.

SEVEN DAYS TO GO 🌈♥️
Next Saturday, we will assemble in Centenary Square, together again to celebrate, reflect and protest.
LGBTQ+ people around the world are facing challenges and discrimination we haven’t seen for a generation. Next weekend Birmingham will show them…….NOT IN OUR CITY!
Remember - Pride was ALWAYS a protest!
