.@munamii is exactly the kind of dedicated, passionate professional that the charity sector needs, and she's truly proven that with her amazing work at @The_BikeProject!

If you're a @CharityComms member, I'd definitely drop her a vote to be a trustee:

Its quite simple. Attacking trans women does not protect cis women. Attacking the institutions that campaign for equality for trans women does not protect cis women. Treating the lives of trans people as a philosophical debate dehumanises trans people. They exist and always have.

Nearly 1 million families affected by dementia are struggling to get support from the UK’s broken social care system that they need & deserve.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

This #DAW2021, sign our petition and urge the Government to #CureTheCareSystem. https://t.co/lYF5kolsOy

We always work pretty hard, but this last year has seen us pivot, innovate and donate as fast as we can.

Super proud of my colleagues that we've been shortlisted for the amazing #CharityAwards
🙌👏🥳

PSA: It’s been less than a year since @munamii joined The Bike Project, and she’s doing such incredible work that she’s speaking at #CharityDigital about it today!

If you’re interested in charity comms, digital or marketing, you should be following her already. Do it.

A thread of some of the key findings of this report (updating as I read)...

[Muna @munamii]

Despite this being slipped out at 00.48am, it is entirely damning. If you're black in the UK, you are:

5x more likely to die in childbirth

9.5x more likely to be stopped by police

Have a higher rate of being remanded, even as a child

& up to 50% more likely to die of Covid..

Also this - everyone understands how crucial audience insight is in directing comms.

But more often than not - even at the largest charities - the sector still doesn’t seem to be making proper use of it.

[Jon Ware @WareTheresSmoke]

I’ve just started #WhoCares by @joebarrell & @SarahatSelf, on building audience engagement strategies - it’s great!

Most eye-opening fact so far: just 3 in 10 charity communicators think their own organisational strategies are very useful in directing their work...

It is #WorldRefugeeDay, and we stand in solidarity with all the refugees across the world.

The weekly allowance for refugees is currently £37.75. It is set to rise by 26p a day shortly, but with a weekly London bus pass being £21.20, it's clear this money doesn't go very far...

A THREAD on attempts to derail a (now global)anti-racism, racial justice movement #BlackLivesMatter
1. It’s truly shameful how a movement focused on ending systemic racism, structural state and police brutality towards Black people & POC is being framed as a ‘culture war’ by

Seems fitting that this should be my first tweet in 8 years #JusticeForShukriAbdi . Sign the petition!

Protests against police brutality are being met with police brutality. It’s difficult not to conclude that they don’t understand any other way to do their jobs. They are, themselves, again and again proving the urgency of these demonstrations.

Today, we've teamed up with @mariecurieuk, @age_uk, @IndependentAge, & @CareEngland to get our urgent message out there.

The Government needs to produce a plan on how they're going to support care home staff & residents through the coronavirus epidemic: https://t.co/tUJLlVIp95
