Watching & waiting for justice. We shouldn't need legal action when Govt's own watchdog has made it clear what should be done. Don't let #WASPI women be swept under the carpet. Show that older women matter. Stand with us & contribute to our legal fighting fund 👇

Have you been affected by the #WASPI injustice, or do you know someone who has been? Do you want social justice in this country where government can’t just get away with treating older women as if we don’t count?
If so, we urge you to contribute.

Platitudes aplenty on #IWD about women's rights & standing up against injustice. But it's deeds not words that count. And if it takes @waspicampaign.bsky.social legal action to make govt do the right thing, so be it. #WASPI

@mchshe.bsky.social govt's independent watchdog found we are victims of state-level injustice & should be compensated. Govt is refusing, so we are forced to take legal action. Help us show older women matter. Please share our legal fighting fund appeal #WASPI

45 members of the APPG for State Pension Inequality for Women have written to Rachel Reeves & LIz Kendall asking them "to review the Government’s approach to the PHSO's report, … and to allow time for a Parliamentary debate and vote on redress mechanisms." #WASPI
