Solidarity with trans women after today’s Supreme Court ruling.

The rollback of LGBT rights — especially trans rights — is global, bankrolled by billionaires and the far-right.

Trans rights are human rights. We must defend the Equality Act and its protections for trans people.

@MrZachG Loved having you Zach … glad to hear talk of our Pom Pom’s has made it to the states!

[Zach Groshell @MrZachG]

I've told many American audiences about this school; the warmth, the lunch shout outs, the assemblies, the systematic coaching model. Every teacher can improve one step at a time; one degree makes all the difference. More than slogans, very powerful stuff when fully realized.

[Maria Craster @CrasterMaria]

Always great to open our doors at @1DegreeAcademy a pleasure to chat with so many amazing school leaders and hear their thoughts around our shared vision and the challenges of educational leadership at the moment

[Jon Hutchinson @jon_hutchinson_]

Well I’ve had my socks well and truly blown off after visiting @1DegreeAcademy with @LeadE100.

Hugely engaging children from N-Y6.

meticulous intentionality from @JoGray3 and @CrasterMaria.

Very happy and proud staff, and children. And rightly so. What a glorious school.
