A politics that claims to defend women while refusing to confront the systems that harm them is not about protection. It's about strategy.

The Railways Bill is making its way through Parliament. But it’s missing 4 vital ingredients that would make it truly work for passengers, not private profiteers:

1 Bring Rolling Stock into public ownership
2 Lower fares
3 Re-opening closed lines
4 Listen to passengers and give them a voice.
1/2
Make sure your MP knows how the Railways Bill can delivers for passengers - email your MP
Invite your MP to learn more about how they can fight to make sure the Railways Bill delivers for passengers.
