Happy Deaf Awareness week. Here’s some highlights from the Equality and Human Rights fund of the amazing work supporting the deaf community in Scotland @IS_EqualityHR @InspiringSland
It’s Deaf Awareness Week #DAW24!
We work with @BDA_Deaf, @dbscotland and @SEMDC1 to provide vital information, training, skills building and direct support across Scotland.
Let's take a look at some of their work 👇

Keep plugging away!
Memo to all journalists. Please read this and be helped to understand why it matters. And as you do so ask yourself whether you might be digging into it more if this was about a non-Tory politician. Then ask yourself why … amazing how people like @DanNeidle @PeterStefanovi2 1/2

Large numbers of Scotland's voluntary orgs could close due to a "perfect storm" of Covid and the cost of living crisis. Good to hear @paulmbradley "..fearful for thousands of voluntary organisations at risk & fearful for the people that need support" 🙏bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-6…

As we've warned in previous threads, far right extremism and neo-Nazism in Scotland are on the rise. Hope Not Hate's new report identifies the Scottish branch of this dangerous UK extremist group as its "most active and hardline".
Our report into Patriotic Alternative (PA), the UK's largest fascist threat, contains:
👉 Info on links to National Action
👉 A who's-who & regional analysis
👉 The inside story from PA's 2021 conference
👉 PA activists' Hitler worship
And much more.

Today is #HumanRightsDay2022. 74 years since the Universal Declaration on #HumanRights was signed. Legally enforceable and universal rights remain the best way to secure freedom, dignity and respect. Yet they are under attack. It’s not “woke” to defend them, it’s being human.
