After 11 years CFWD will be closing on 31 August. Obviously, we're not giving up the fight for women's power and agency, but we're moving on to new things. Thank you for all your support, and let's hope we don't still need to be doing this in 11 years time! #endofanera #thankyou

2018 represents a tipping point. 100 yrs since some women secured the vote, we say NO to sexism. Stand with us to say it's #OurTimeNow. Tweet a pic of your watch/ a clock tomorrow to show your support for women everywhere. #vote100 #TimesUp Pls RT @Agenda_alliance

Systems and culture have to change. Unless they do, we risk the 2018 centenary being a missed opportunity. Our system of politics is failing to be relevant to women’s lives, actively putting them off. https://t.co/97oS92WNB3 #StillMarching

The Equality Act protects us all from discrimination at work – and it needs defending. Ask your MP to put their names to #EUWithdrawalBill Amendments 287-290 tabled by @PeterGrantMP and 363-374 tabled by @thomasbrake. We must fight for equality together. @EHRC #FaceHerFuture
