Trans Action Oxford

We go to protests to provide masks and hand sanitiser, and to ensure social distancing, as well as to stand in solidarity against racism and anti-Blackness. Remember this when the media tries to blame rising cases on protests, and not on easing the lockdown. #BlackLivesMatterUK

Peaceful protest. Black Lives Matter. Tomorrow, 7th June. 2pm. South Parks, Cowley. #BlackLivesMatterUK RT and share widely. Drop us a message if you hve any questions, we’re working with the organisers.

We're one month old! In just over a month, we've helped over 300 households, including 53 with elderly members and 67 with particularly at risk people. We've also helped 52 migrant families, 8 families with babies, and 7 pregnant women. And that's not all! Read on for more.

In case you missed it last night, here’s the inimitable Eaton Messe with her ‘Guide to the Corona Home’.

We interrupt this quarantine to bring you... ‘Eaton Messe’s Guide to the Corona Home’. One half of drag duo @Dragprov, Eaton has been kind enough to share some handy hints and tips for staying safe during the current crisis. #COVID19 #TheLockdown #coronavirus #StayAtHome

So often, it’s people who are sidelined by society for one reason who come to the aid of people who are sidelined for another. You have Oxford’s LGBTQ+ community to thank for so much of our work, and for so many of our volunteers.

In just two weeks, we've done so much. We've enlisted more than 1000 volunteers. We've provided nearly 100 households with supplies. We've delivered more than 1500 meals to NHS staff and council workers. We are humbled and grateful. Thank you.

We need to keep spreading the word about what we’re doing. It’s crucially important that at risk people and their relatives know that we’re here. Please RT this, and if you see it, give us a follow or send us to anyone you know who’s in Oxford, or has relatives who are.

We urgently need volunteers with midwifery experience. With hospitals under extreme strain, we are working to support new parents and their families. Send us a message if you can help. It doesn’t matter if you’re isolating, you can do this remotely. RTs and shares appreciated.

We've had an urgent request for an unused flat or house in Oxford where a family of three could self-isolate for 14 days from 28 March to 11 April. Please get in touch if you know of someone who can help. Drop us a message, or give us a ring on 07310 160 595.

COVID-19 has shown us that it's not the bankers that keep our society going. It's the cleaners. Delivery people. Carers. Volunteers. Check-out staff. People stacking shelves, and driving vans. And many others people whose vital work is undervalued. Spare them a thought today.

Want to volunteer? We’re in need of people to pick up, distribute, and do a whole range of things to help other people out. Let’s show solidarity with those most affected by this crisis. Fill out this form, and we'll be in touch: tinyurl.com/rhtsk23
