Heyrick published these words in the 1820s, but they are just as relevant for us in the 2020s.
10,000 slaves were identified in the UK in 2019. Seven out of ten people trapped in modern slavery are women and girls. #16Days
“Slavery is a question in which we are all implicated; we are all guilty.”
Elizabeth Heyrick, abolitionist, was born #OTD 1769. In 1823/4, Heyrick published ‘Immediate, not Gradual Abolition’, a pamphlet criticising abolitionists for their “politeness” towards the planter class.

This is highly relevant to the work that WIs do around food banks. We can’t just respond to food banks by donating food. We must also respond by asking why they are there, and end the need. @WomensInstitute @WILifemagazine
If the #UKGovernment cuts #UniversalCredit by £20 a week in Oct, it will be a devastating blow for millions of households already struggling to make ends meet. It doesn’t have to be like this. Help #KeepTheLifeline. Share this video & create change. bit.ly/3yWFtAO

@ChrisGPackham we would really appreciate if you could please retweet to increase awareness of the threat to this valley which is a haven for wildlife. 9 LWS’s will be affected including 5 within the application site itself. The site is of county importance for wintering birds. – at East Midlands, England
Time is running out to help us and @Nottswildlife in our fight to protect the valley between Barton in Fabis and Clifton which provides vital wildlife habitat + has been deemed the most ecologically damaging of all sites recently proposed for mineral extraction! Please retweet!
