⚠️Black women lost 38,000 jobs in April, the most of any group. Economists say this sharp rise is tied to the administration's anti-DEI agenda. Black women are sadly paying the price. This is more than just policy — it’s harm.

Scottish Government officials have ignored public outrage and expert opinion to grant permission for Flamingo Land to build their mega-resort at Loch Lomond.
155,000 of you objected to their plans, making it the most objected to planning application in Scottish history.
But it's not over yet!
Now we need as many people as possible to write to the Scottish Government and tell them to change this decision.

Stop PIP and Benefits Cuts
March and Rally
Saturday 17th March 2025
Assemble at City Hall, #Norwich - 12 noon
Just found out my disabled friend on PIP is too ill to attend…but I’ll be marching with his spirit beside me.
#PIP
#DisabilityBenefitsCuts
#Disability
#Starmer
#Labour
My placard hastily painted this morning for the Stop PIP and Benefits Cuts Rally in #Norwich.
Turnout was good. The most I’ve seen at a #protest in the city since the #Tory crime and punishment legislation kicked in.
Hearing #disabled testimonies about the pain this is causing every day was just as important as the political speeches.
We also gave the Saturday shoppers something to gawp and think about…there was resistance to our message:
“no ifs, no buts, no to disability benefit cuts”
We assembled on #Norwich City Hall steps in time honoured tradition.
Good to hear Clive Lewis #Labour MP for Norwich South say he won’t support his party on these #Disability cuts. He promised not to vote for them…we must hold him to this and encourage other Labour MPs to take his principled stance.
