On #BrigidsDay, also the first day of spring, we look at this day as a symbol of care, protection and renewal, deeply connected to land, food and community, a reminder to all of us that humans and nature are not separate 🌱

Climate justice is care work. And care must be at the heart of our future💚

We need #FeministClimateJustice to make the green transition just!

Our thoughts are with the family, friends & loved ones of Bruna Fonseca following yesterday’s sentencing of Miller Pacheco who has been found guilty of her murder on New Year’s Eve 2023.

Women deserve to be safe wherever they are whomever they are with, free from the fear of violence & murder.

Despite childcare being a major election issue post Budget 2025 , today's Irish Examiner article states that fees for 1 in 5 families have actually risen since the vote, and the Government’s commitment to a €200 monthly cap remains vague and under-resourced.
