Trans Liberation Group @transliberationgroup.org.uk · Oct 7
We are the Trans Liberation Group and we are fighting for a foundation of trans liberation in Your Party, in its current and future iterations.
Founding Statement: The situation for trans people in Britain is critical. We face a barrage of billionaire bankrolled abuse in the media. We endure decades long waiting lists to access limited healthcare, with dehumanisation and pathologisation built in to the system. In the job market, we are met with discrimination, lack of opportunity and stagnating pay. We are excluded from housing, healthcare, employment, leisure - now even our use of bathrooms is policed. - Trans Liberation Group Something must change. - Trans Liberation Group Founding Statement: For trans people, today’s politics is exhausting. The major political parties have used and discarded us time and time again. Too often, exclusionary figures are embedded in leadership capacities, and even in progressive parties, those on the fringes can spew hatred unchallenged. We say no more. This cannot happen in Your Party. The liberation of all marginalised people can only be achieved through their active and equal participation in class struggle; there can only be a precarious freedom for some under current conditions. - Trans Liberation Group ounding Statement: We are the Trans Liberation Group and we are fighting to ensure Your Party, in its current and future iterations, explicitly advocates for trans liberation, and encourages the political participation of trans people. We know there are prominent figures who have been platformed under the banner of Your Party who hold regressive, misinformed and dangerous views on trans people. We are here to show them that this is our party, and we will fight tooth and nail to prevent this oppressive politics from taking root. - Trans Liberation Group

I was interviewed by The New Arab back at the Your Party Conference last year. This is what I had to say about Palestine:

Read the full article here: www.newarab.com/news/jeremy-...
A red, green and white striped image with the text LIZZIE4CEC and a quote from the linked article: "I think Palestine is sort of a cornerstone of the current political climate, not just because of the ongoing genocide, but because it represents a turning point for British imperialism," Bailey tells The New Arab. "It underlines what your actual values are. So, if people are getting backlash for speaking out against the genocide, and they choose not to speak out, clearly they’re prioritising their personal position over the Palestinian people." The activist references the Labour Party, which is "clearly taking a position which they obviously know is wrong" but politically serves their interests in British arms and diplomatic ties. How can you trust someone who says they stand up for human rights, but they don’t stand up for the Palestinians?"

In case you missed it! Tickets are free and are still available.

I'm excited to be able to give Welsh members the chance to find out more about me and my policies with the hope that you'll be happy to endorse me to be on the final ballot.

LIZZIE BAILEY SELECTED BY TLG MEMBERS FOR YOUR PARTY’S COLLECTIVE LEADERSHIP CEC WELSH SEAT

LIZZIE BAILEY SELECTED BY TLG MEMBERS FOR YOUR PARTY’S COLLECTIVE LEADERSHIP CEC WELSH SEAT Lizzie Bailey (she/they) has been chosen by TLG members to run for the Welsh seat of Your Party’s Collective Leadership. As part of her union and TLG, Lizzie assisted in the passing of two motions at the Founding Conference, requiring Your Party to commit to trans liberation, and liberation for one is liberation for all. Lizzie is committed to representing Welsh voices in Your Party, and supporting mass member-led democracy and a party republic. For media enquiries, please email: lizzie4cec@gmail.com “My name is Lizzie and I am committed to fighting for socialist change, both within Your Party and beyond it. I've been involved in a variety of political groups and have taken on roles such as LGBT+ officer, Women's officer and co-chair of UNISON's national young members group. I've also been involved in local community organising including Palestinian liberation groups, anti-fascist groups, and educational workshops. I've been learning about politics and social injustice since I was a child, as I wanted to understand why hard working people still faced significant financial issues. I went on to study politics at university for my undergraduate degree and completed a masters in sociology in 2020. I believe our society has more than enough wealth for us all to live long, healthy and fulfilling lives, but in our current political system all this wealth has been concentrated to a small number of individuals and this needs to change. Your Party can help drive this change, but we need to build a party that is accountable and speaks for ordinary people. I am committed to building Your Party from the ground up and have taken an active role to help build our local protobranch in Cardiff. As the CEC representative for Welsh members, I will ensure I represent the grassroots membership and continue working to help build a party that delivers change for the ordinary people that make up our communities and Your Party.”

Hi, I’m Lizzie. I’m the co-chair of the Cardiff proto-branch of Your Party and I am standing to be the representative for Welsh voices on the CEC.

Against Sections: For Democratic Liberation

TLG believes in empowering groups to organise democratically, develop their own consciousness and elevate their membership. No individual can speak for us!
TLG logo (pink white and blue phoenix on a pink star). Text: Many of the traditional political parties operate by having reserved sections. This is when a group claiming to represent a section of people (LGBTQ+, Disability etc) becomes officially recognised by the party as the organ of that identity group. Often, these groups have special access to the party leadership, reserved seats on the executive or nominating powers. Text: This causes many issues. It creates another layer of bureaucracy for minority peoples to navigate to get their voice heard. In many parties, these sections are factionally aligned to the leadership to maintain their access and privileges, which makes them ineffective at speaking up or providing criticism. In reserved seats, token anointed individuals are treated as a way of signing off on decisions affecting groups, without having to consult them. Text: There is a better way of doing politics, a way that centres democracy and member led liberation. The aim is not to have a single trans person signing off on decisions; it is to build strong, democratic structures that encourage people to take the lead in their own political development and their liberation. We can build strong, diverse organisers, we can debate strategy, refine our policy and be an exemplar of democracy. Text: We do not need to attach ourselves to specific leaders - allies or not. We instead show everyone that the power lies with the members and anyone can support us. Through our empowerment and building each other up within our interrelated struggles, we then become impossible to sideline. Our influence becomes permanent and reliant on no one but ourselves.

Solidarity with the Filton 24! Solidarity with Prisoners for Palestine!
A greyscale background photo of the Filton 24 with blue text over the top, and the Trans Libneration Group logo at the bottom. Text: Solidarity with the Filton 24! Solidarity with Prisoners for Palestine! Text: The Filton 24 are a group of 24 activists charged with taking direct action against an Elbit Systems factory. All 24 are being held in prison without trial, with some expecting to face almost two years in prison before their trial. The British government is using counter-terrorism powers to punish people for resisting a genocide. We are now entering the fourth week of a hunger strike by six prisoners. Text: They are on hunger strike to try and win five demands: •⁠ ⁠End all censorship of prisoners •⁠ ⁠Immediate bail •⁠ ⁠The right to a fair trial •⁠ ⁠Deproscribe Palestine Action •⁠ ⁠Shut Elbit down It is the biggest collective hunger strike in the prisons of the British state since the 1981 Irish republicans’ hunger strike in the north of Ireland. Text: In addition, last week the first trial of the Filton 24 started and is due to last 10 weeks. The Trans Liberation Group would like to express our unconditional solidarity with all of the political prisoners arrested for resisting the genocide in Palestine. We fully support the cause of Palestinian liberation, which we know is linked to our own struggle for liberation. No one is free until all of us are free

Trans lives do not exist in a vacuum‼️

Here is our explanation of what Trans Liberation is.
Text: What is Trans Liberation? (An explainer...). Text: While our community faces unique oppression because of the fact we are trans, we also suffer disproportionally from the oppressions of other marginalised communities that we belong to, as well as those felt by the working class as a whole. Trans Liberation recognises that these struggles are interconnected, and can only be solved through working class solidarity that seeks to address the oppression faced by all marginalised communities, like ours, alongside the wider struggle for a Socialist society. Text: Trans lives do not exist in a vacuum! Text: Healthcare is becoming harder to access. Whether through the government's cruel ban on Puberty Blockers for trans kids, through the targeted deterioration of trans healthcare on the NHS, or the dismantling of the NHS healthcare generally, trans people without financial means to access private healthcare are particularly harmed.

We remember our murdered siblings not only as victims of an unjust world, but as part of a movement of resistance.

We hope that our trans and non-binary siblings can take time today to remember and to grieve.

Tomorrow, we turn those feelings into determination.
Title: TRANS DAY OF REMEMBERANCE Body: We hope that all of our trans and non-binary siblings can take some time today to remember and to grieve. Tomorrow, we will turn those feelings into a determination to make the world a better place. Body: We recognise the 360 known trans and non-binary people who have lost their lives prematurely this year. The true number of those lost is likely to be higher due to underreporting and misrepresentation of trans identity in the media and police reports. Honouring their memory is not just about mourning but also demanding justice. Systemic failures in healthcare, policing, housing and employment frequently leave trans people vulnerable. Body: 78% of those killed in transphobic hate crimes were trans women of colour. We must be explicitly clear that the intersections of racism, misogyny and transphobia put trans women of colour in the most danger. Trans liberation is impossible without an uncompromising struggle against racism, misogyny, ableism and all other forms of oppression. Trans Liberation Group
