Today the community came out to stop the detention of our neighbours and that direct action worked. We reject the hostile environment policy. Refugees are welcome. Eid Mubarak if you’re celebrating x #EndDetention #GlasgowSaysLetThemGo
Wonderful insights/reflections on what Black staff need from white managers/leaders. If you've got time, this is a great resource!

Proud to vote for this groundbreaking legislation, making Scotland the first country in the world to provide free period products for all who need them. An important policy for women and girls. Well done to @MonicaLennon7 @ClydesdAileen and all who worked to make it happen

A National Taskforce is putting together recommendations for a new human rights law. This would put all of our rights directly into Scotland’s laws

Heartbroken to see and hear @SekaiMachache beautiful portraits @BLMMuralTrail have all been torn down / slashed in Dundee. I don't know what's worse - the fact that it happened or the fact it was anticipated that it might happen and DID then happen. Awful.
The nation-wide @BLMMuralTrail comes to Dundee with ‘a BREAdTH apart’ by artist @SekaiMachache. Her portraits - each featuring vibrant face masks designed with Fiona Catherine Powell - comment on the relationship between systemic racism and healthcare.
