No more hate. Anti-trans soundbites in the media are giving politicians a convenient smokescreen that distracts them from addressing the urgent issues that affect us. Tell your MP that #BeingTransIsNotAnIssue stonewall.org.uk/our-work/ca…

Two days ago, my mentee of 3 years was found guilty of conspiracy to commit GBH, alongside 9 other Black boys. He was labelled as a ‘gang’ member, because that is a loaded label which allows a racist police force and prosecution to be lazy in their gathering of evidence (1)

🚨 STATEMENT ON VERDICT & WHAT YOU CAN DO 🚨 Firstly, we need you to read about these boys. Articles based on the prosecution’s racist narrative will try to tell you who they are. We wanted to share some reflections on the boys ⬇️ link to full text: bit.ly/3ws6zC8

🚨CALL TO ACTION - PLZ RT. We believe that at 5.30pm tomorrow @homeofficeuk and @TUIUK will deport up to 22 people from Birmingham to Vietnam. Tweet @TUIUK & tell them that this flight must not depart. #StopThePlane #TUIDropDeportations #Vietnam22
We are hearing there is a mass deportation flight to #Vietnam tomorrow, are there any groups campaigning against this & supporting those impacted? #vietnamdeportations #enddeportations #stoptheplane
I just supported this case! No group that actively campaigns against a marginalised group should gain charity status. crowdjustice.com/case/lgba-c… via @CrowdJustice
