It is a human rights cause. Increasing awareness about violence inflicted against minorities is the right thing to do.

The erosion of rights for trans and intersex people in the UK is not just a concern for those directly affected — it is a warning sign for everyone who values freedom, dignity, and equality under the law. When a government begins to target a minority group through legal rulings, policy rollbacks, and inflammatory rhetoric, it sets a precedent that endangers the rights of all citizens. History shows that the marginalisation of one group often paves the way for broader authoritarianism. Standing up for trans and intersex people is standing up for a society where everyone’s rights are protected, regardless of gender, identity, or background. Moreover, the UK has long prided itself on being a global leader in human rights and democratic values. The current trajectory — condemned by international human rights bodies and legal experts — threatens that reputation and undermines our commitments on the world stage. If we allow the dehumanisation and legal erasure of trans and intersex people to continue unchecked, we risk becoming a society defined by fear, division, and injustice. This is a moment for the public to act — not just out of solidarity, but out of a shared interest in preserving the kind of inclusive, fair, and compassionate country we all want to live in.

In these fragmentary times, when human rights are increasingly under attack around the world, it's more important than ever to show global support for the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). The rule of law is being eroded, not only by authoritarian regimes but also through the complacency of democratic governments. Without renewed commitment and enforceability, the UDHR risks becoming symbolic rather than transformational. Bringing attention back to the UDHR and working toward an enforceable International Bill of Rights is the only way we can restore respect for human dignity, the rule of law, and the original vision of a world governed by shared principles of justice and equality. But to do this, we need a global base of supporters and the backing of powerful governments, like the UK, willing to lead by example.

This Is a Moment of Moral Clarity This is not about politics. This is about humanity that's why over 50 MP's have already signed an open letter to you requesting an emergency medical evacuation scheme for injured Palestinian children.  We ask you, Prime Minister, not to look away. Let the UK be remembered as a country that stood on the side of life.  We request an urgent meeting with your office to explore the practical steps needed to make this vision a reality.  With resolve and hope,  [Add your Profession before your first name eg Consultant, Nurse, Dr, Paramedic, Phlebotomist]

This guidance is out dated, legally questionable and deeply traumatising to individuals experiencing losses. The surveillance and accusations aimed at grieving women and birthing people is a gross betrayal of public trust, lacks empathy, substance, justification, and needs amending. It is deeply rooted in patriarchal views and reinforces worrying views around policing female bodies. We petition for the NPCC to review and amend the guidance with urgency.

Fred Done is investing millions in technology to improve horse racing yet he can't (or should I say won't) pay his employees sick pay when they're away from work through no fault of their own.  My friend has been non-weight bearing for at least 8 weeks after a necessary operation and all she can claim to keep her house going is SSP. We all know that no-one can run a house on £94 odd per week.  Everyone who works for an employer needs to feel safe that their family and outgoings will be taken care of if they get ill. Being ill and/or going into hospital is stressful enough without the worry of wondering how you're going to pay your bills. Please sign if you are or have been an employee who has/had to survive on SSP or want to support all those in that difficult position. 

IT'S AN INVASION OF PRIVACY, IT'S HUMILIATING. IT WILL CAUSE MORE STRESS AND ANXIETY ON PEOPLE'S MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH. SUICIDE RATE COULD RISE. THE COST OF LIVING AT THE MINUTE IS CAUSING ENOUGH WORRY AND ANXIETY, WE DON'T NEED ADDED PRESSURE. IT'S SEEMS TO BE PARTICULARLY TARGETING PEOPLE WHO ARE ALREADY VULNERABLE AND STRUGGLING TO COPE.

This policy hurts everyone: • Asylum seekers are stripped of dignity—forced to rely on handouts instead of earning a living. • The UK economy loses out on skilled, hardworking individuals eager to contribute. • It fuels racism and resentment, reinforcing the false idea that asylum seekers are a burden instead of the builders, caregivers, and workers they long to be. What message does this send? That those fleeing persecution and war are less deserving of human dignity? That the government prefers to keep people in poverty rather than allow them to contribute? This isn’t just about policy, it’s about basic human rights. Let asylum seekers work. Let them contribute. Let them live with dignity.  Sign the petition NOW to demand immediate work rights for asylum seekers in the UK.

It is reported that the Home Office has ordered Apple to build a backdoor into its encrypted services so that they can get hold of content that any Apple user has upload to the cloud. Encryption keeps our private information safe and secure. It’s essential for being safe online when sending messages, shopping, doing online banking – and for storing things safely in the cloud. With the Cabinet Office estimating the cost of Cyber Crime at £21BN a year to our economy, we can’t afford to make our data less secure with a backdoor.  But the UK government thinks it should be access anything and everything, anywhere and anytime – and it’s prepared to put all of our security at risk in order to do so. According to the Washington Post, Apple are likely to say no to this demand and stop providing encrypted services to people in the UK. This would mean that Apple users in the UK no longer have the secure products that people in other countries have. But this is not just about Apple. The UK government has been putting pressure on Meta to stop rolling out encryption in its services. Android users could be next. The UK Government can do this because last year, they added new powers to the Investigatory Powers Act, known as the snooper’s charter. These powers mean the Home Office can force tech companies to notify them when they want to make their products more secure; in other words so the Home Office can stop security measures from ever being added.  The Home Office don’t have to get a judge to approve these orders. We as citizens can’t even find out if such an order has been issued due to their secretive nature. This is the wrong way round. The UK Government should encourage tech companies to use encryption and keep us all safe online – not put our privacy and security at risk. We need to act now before we lose Apple encrypted services. Add your name to demand that the Home Office protects your privacy now. Read more here: https://metro.co.uk/2025/02/08/privacy-fears-millions-government-demands-access-messages-photos-22520358

The current 7-year route to settlement for children born in the UK is unnecessarily long and places a significant burden on families. Children born in the UK often grow up with a strong sense of belonging to British society. However, they face prolonged uncertainty, which can harm their emotional well-being, disrupt their education, and delay their ability to fully participate in society.   Reducing this period to three years would allow children to achieve stability sooner, providing them with a secure foundation to grow, learn, and thrive. It ensures their rights and best interests are prioritized, reflecting the values of fairness and compassion that underpin British society.   This issue affects not just the children and families directly involved, but also the broader community. When children are given the opportunity to integrate fully and early, it benefits society as a whole. By supporting this change, you are:   1. Promoting Equality: Every child born in the UK deserves the same opportunity to feel secure and included.   2. Strengthening Families: Families facing immigration challenges often experience stress and financial hardship, which can impact their ability to contribute to society.   3. Building a Better Future: Supporting children’s well-being and integration strengthens communities and creates a more cohesive and compassionate society.   By joining this campaign, you are standing up for fairness, family unity, and the well-being of the next generation. Together, we can push for a more just and inclusive policy that benefits everyone.
