I will be participating in @unitednations1945.bsky.social Commission on the Status of Women 70 alongside UN Women UK and UN Women across the globe 🩵 #CSW70 #ForAllWomenAndGirls
Photograph of Laura Eccott smiling in the bottom right corner. Text on a purple background : UN WOMEN UNITED KINGDOM FOR ALL WOMEN AND GIRLS I'M IN! ARE YOU? This is how we turn International Women's Day into a lifetime of change. Protections we fought for are being rolled back. Rights that took decades to secure are under threat. That's why I'm joining CSW70 with UN Women UK. Join me. ALL of our voices are needed.

“are we safe yet?”

Beermats available: greenpartycampaigns.uk/blog/greens-...

#Fascism #Farage #Trump #ICE #UK
Do people get it now? Fascism doesn't care about the rules, it cares about the ends justifying the means. It started with removing abortions and trans rights for "safety". "... we knew this is where it was headed, so we fought it (did you?). Now that same mindset is killing mothers and nurses, locking up children, minimising gender based violence and child abuse. To that I ask "are we safe yet?" Cards with “spotting fascism” and “greens against fascism” on opposite sides. Available : https://greenpartycampaigns.uk/blog/greens-against-fascism

An emotional exhibition at Pallant Gallery by Caroline Walker really evoked times throughout my lone parenting - thank you for shining a light on the quiet moments of women caring for children pallant.org.uk/whats-on/car...

The Purpose of Protest brought strength and reflection to my heart, acknowledging some of the systematic harms we have stood up against over the last 7 years. Thank you Hope 93 for creating this space hope93.com/exhibitions/ #Gaza #Protest #Art @feministgreens.bsky.social

The climate crisis is an act of harm against marginalised communities. This is why social justice and climate justice must be sought together.
A GENDER AND EQUALITY CRISIS. Women, non-binary people, racialised communities and Indigenous people are disproportionately affected by the climate crisis. For example, a study of heat-related deaths in Brazil found higher mortality rates among diverse women, people with low education levels and Black, Indigenous and People of Colour (BIPOC). They also bear the brunt of the indirect impacts of climate change, such as increased care workloads and increased vulnerability to gender-based violence.

I appreciate your sense of personal responsibility. I am advocating that until we do something about the 1-0.1% richest, anything we do at a personal level (aside from voting and community engagement) doesn’t have the same scale of impact (without that system reform).

“the Carbon Majors project estimates that 36 corporates produced half the world's emissions in 2023. Billionaires dominate every aspect of the global economy, controlling 17 of the 50 largest listed corporates in the world, either as CEO or principal investor.”
Analysis by Oxfam of almost 18,000 corporations worldwide that report their Scope 1 and 2 emissions found that just six corporates are responsible for 10% of the total reported corporate emissions, while only 100 corporates are responsible for half. Taking Scope 3 emissions into account, the Carbon Majors project estimates that 36 corporates produced half the world's emissions in 2023.90 Billionaires dominate every aspect of the global economy, controlling 17 of the 50 largest listed corporates in the world, either as CEO or principal investor. Where billionaires invest their money, along with the influence they exert, has a significant impact on the emissions of the corporate economy.

More details from @gingerbreadcharity.bsky.social
👉 www.gingerbread.org.uk/our-work/new...
We couldn't have reached this point without dedicated single parent campaigners. Laura, who joined us in London to submit the CMS open letter, shared this: "Making our voices heard by handing the letter in to the DWP was an important part of our campaign for CMS reform, they have to see us as people behind the statistics."

Dropped into Lush today to buy some 🍉 soap.
75% of the price from each bar sold goes towards funding medical services, including organisations that are gearing up to provide prosthetic limb services to adults and children injured in Gaza, Palestine.

“Experiencing misogyny because you’re taking steps to formally challenge misogyny”
Not catchy but, probably ironic?

Disheartening to see how dry the grass is at Havenstoke Park, monoculture has less resilience to the impacts of climate change. Grateful for the shade of the trees as ever 💚
Sunglasses also worn to protect my eye health!

Manspreading on a packed train, leaving me no option but to put my legs in the aisle. @eastmidsrailway.bsky.social @eastmidrailway.bsky.social having asked your staff for help and getting “we can’t do anything, move?” Train was packed, I suggest you have a bit of a think on this one.
