Over 3000 people tuned in to our open meeting to #KillTheBill - we are strong and we will win!

We're looking for designs that can be printed off and displayed in windows across the UK. If you have these skills, get in touch!

Sisters are powerful and dangerous. More soon.

BREAKING: We’ve delayed the #PoliceCrackdownBill - the government is no longer rushing it through Parliament. This is a victory, but we will not stop until we #KillThisBill. This will only happen if we escalate the resistance and build a mass movement. 💥https://t.co/nlMqHa1dfE

'adrienne and Ama talk as if each word is a seed floating out of their mouths. They talk of the intimate relationship between trauma & pleasure. How pleasure is a practice that releases the body and mind into freedom.'

Fantastic piece by @SammyWeaverPoem about @NewSuns_ on LWP

[Lucy Writers' Platform @LucyWriters]

Our writer, @SammyWeaverPoem, creates a thrillingly imaginative response to the @BarbicanCentre's recent feminist literary festival, @NewSuns_, and reimagines words as seeds, bodies as earth and people as lichens.

It's International Women's Day - Show some love for all the amazing Trans Women and NB Femmes out there! ❤️
Here's a film we made celebrating Trans Women and Non binary femmes. #internationalwomensday #IWD2021

[Gendered Intelligence @Genderintell]

Happy #InternationalWomensDay to each and every one of the 3.9 billion women! From homophobic abuse, to femicide, to lack of reproductive choices, to street harassment, to unequal pay, to misogynoir, to transphobia, to terrible representation... we fight these fights together

[Amy Brookes @Amy_Butt_]

I am still glowing from Donna Haraway: Storytelling for Earthly Survival this weekend @NewSuns_

"We need to learn how to add to the work of those who are already storying otherwise... to render each other capable.
The story of the earth is at stake while we participate in it"
