Back in Feb, I organised an event with @UoNHRLC to explore key challenges, opportunities & strategies for advancing trans rights, amid the rise of anti-gender movements globally. Huge thanks to the wonderful speakers who joined us! Event recording here: bit.ly/HRLCtrans
No job cuts. Simple message from the unions and @Greg4Broxtowe at the @UnisonUon & @UoNUCU lunchtime rally The University & its workers are part of our community - we stand with you
Joint Unison & UCU rally: Saying No to job cuts. Excellent talks from all 3 TUs, on the devastating loss of livelihoods that would diminish UoN. Green Party, Lab Councillor, Broxtowe Independent Alliance & Notts TUC showed solidarity & spoke on effects on local the community.
It was great to see so many people at the rally today & to hear some really excellent speeches (wonderful to see some Green representation from @CouncillorQ). Now is the time to build on our momentum. If you're a UCU member at Notts, join our industrial action starting 24 July!
With compulsory redundancies still on the table, were still going to push back. On Monday at 11:45, let's show up in force, say NO to the university treating us as expendable, and show 'em what solidarity looks like! #StopTheCuts #SaveHE
I have also heard from a member in attendance of the South West leadership hustings that earlier today Ellie Chowns compared trans rights to contested issues like assisted dying.
Chowns referred to trans rights as a “contested issue”, and said that trans people who oppose the ruling “do not speak for all trans people”. She said Greens should have “open conversations” about trans rights, comparing trans people’s human rights to a discussion about HS2.
Just listened to this very interesting conversation between @edwardpool40795 and @Frankadlingtons about his campaign for the deputy leadership, covering trans rights, solar farms and the need for Greens to stand in every seat. #RankFrank1st 💚 Watch here: youtu.be/fHQ6jRqHVP8?si…
Section 28 just got a rebrand, now it’s call section 36, same sh1t different era!! #TransRightsAreHumanRights
This should really be the bare minimum. If candidates can't commit to these pledges then they do not deserve the support of queer members.
🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ LGBTIQA+ RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 We're asking candidates in @TheGreenParty internal elections to pledge their support for our community. At a time when we're under attack, we need our LGBTIQA+ communities and our allies to stand in solidarity. Watch this space!
It's funny how every evidence-based study finds this exact same result. Where is the flood of detransitioners we were promised years ago? Where are the whistleblowers of doctors "forcing" teens to transition? That's right, they don't exist.
It was great to attend & support this event for the 2nd year running. Extremely important & insightful interventions from all speakers. I had to get up at 5:30am to make the first session (notts public transport infrastructure is shocking) but it was worth the sleep deprivation!
We are hugely excited to kick off the 2025 Nottingham International Criminal Law Conference this morning, bringing together leading academics, practitioners & policymakers to discuss current issues & recent developments in the field! #UoN_ICJ25 #IntlCrimJustice
