We have a right to go without fear of violence by day and night. We have a right to safety in our cities, streets, homes and communities. This is a human right. A right we should and must all have, regardless of our gender identity, race, religion, class, sexuality and dis/abilities. A right that some were born with and some still need to claim everyday. It is vital to rethink who’s at threat in the streets and all public places. With the “ We have a right to the night” campaign, we are reclaiming our nights, standing together in memory of Sarah Everard and all people harmed by state and gendered violence. We won’t stay silent. We won’t let anyone telling us again to stay indoors for our safety. Enough is enough. We must stop being blamed for the violence towards us. Telling us how we should behave for our safety is allowing abusers to take up space. It’s giving them the power to keep insulting, catcalling, spiting, grabbing, slapping, punching, raping, murdering us. We also want to address the key role that education has in the deconstruction of a patriarchal system that perpetuates oppression and exploitation. We must question and rethink our children’s education. We must start educating our sons in the respect of everybody. We must stop teaching our daughters to be scared but empower them. We must give space and listen to LBGTQIA+ children / teenagers, for them to embrace and celebrate their identities. Last week a woman was killed. Killed by the system we’re told protects. Once more. It’s a moment where people need space to mourn, share and rise up. Injustice tightens the need to stand in togetherness. It’s a time to care for Sarah Everard’s murder. And beyond. It’s a time to care for each other and make sure no one is left behind. We must deconstruct the old political discourse around gender violence, so we can protect, support and give space to all victims. We are disgusted but not surprised that the only response that was made by authorities was to increase police presence in our streets. More police has never been the answer. Police violence is a reality for many of us, especially for BIPOC, sex workers, trans and non-binary people. Sarah Everad’s murder proves us once more that we can’t feel protected by the police. How could we trust an institution that was created to protect people in power ? How could we trust them when they cannot even ensure the reliability of their own staff members ? How could we trust an institution that is racist, misogynistic, homophobic and transphobic? We will hold boroughs, MPs, councils and the government accountable for not putting everything in place to end all gendered violence, including police, state and interpersonal. We will hold them accountable for the police brutality during last Saturday’s vigil. However, we want to recognize all the existent strategies that we have always created to keep each other safe and we want to keep on building more. We claim that we don’t need our abusers to patronize us into power dynamics disguised as fake protection. We can and will keep on showing up for each other, extending our solidarity and creating further our resistance. Our campaign aims to give visibility to all victims of male violence and we urge that actions are taken to end all gendered violence. Inspired by The Outside Project’s COVID19 campaign ‘make space for homeless queers’, we are inviting all victims and survivors of male violences to take a picture of themselves holding our online protest message “ We have a right to the night #reclaimthestreets #stopallgenderedviolences” and share it on their social medias as well as signing this petition. This letter is for those of you who have experienced any type of male violences in the streets, in your homes, at work — and all public spaces. We stand beside all of you regardless of your gender, sexuality, dis/abilities, ethnic, religious and class background. UNITED WE WILL NEVER BE DEFEATED !

They did it to Meghan and Harry. They did it to Caroline Flack, to Gareth Thomas and Ben Stokes, and to hundreds of ordinary people every year. Just to sell newspapers and make money. Press abuse - the publication of relentlessly intrusive, untrue, and often personally abusive stories about people in national newspapers - has to stop. Many of the people affected are well-known. That shouldn't make them fair game for newspapers to attack for a quick profit. But thousands of the people attacked in the press are not well-known at all. They are victims of terrorist incidents, small business-owners, academics. Anyone who is caught up in a news-worthy event, or who even publicly says something which a newspaper finds objectionable. Newspapers get away with this behaviour because they aren't regulated. The BBC is regulated, and so is the news on other TV stations and the radio. Yet most newspapers remain outside of any independent form of accountability (they are members of a body called "IPSO" instead, which doesn't have regulatory powers and is controlled by the press). We need the Government to act to stop press bullying & abuse. Add your name today.

Referencing the present situation (the pandemic) too many people have died and more are languishing and many are becoming increasingly worried what their status will be, so many are destitute.

Children are already starving in Yemen; a country which has been suffering civil war since 2015. The UK proposes to cut humanitarian aid to Yemen while continuing to export arms to countries involved in the civil war. The UN has warned that 4000,000 under fives are at risk from dying in the coming weeks. While other G7 countries are continuing with their aid programmes the UK, which is hosting the G7 summit later in the year, is turning away from a country in total crisis. The UK is essentially abandoning millions to war and starvation.

Undocumented Migrants are suffering in silence, with no access to adequate Financial support, or any help. The current pandemic has created a more hostile environment for undocumented migrants. The Government should grant an immediate Amnesty to the Undocumented Migrants with no criminal record, to enable them to live their lives as decent human beings and help the Country economically. Since the migrants are already in the UK, it would not only be cost effective but would make sense to keep them in the UK and grant them citizenship so that they are granted their basic human rights.

This is important because Helen Mary Jones (HMJ) has openly and proudly made speeches using derogatory and abusive terminology under the Equality Act 2010 towards trans people and trans communities as part of a repeated pattern of behaviour over years. HMJ has used her position in the Senedd to campaign for gender identity to be taken out of legal protections. We are concerned about what effect HMJ is having on Plaid Cymru, and the toxic impact she is having on LGBTQ communities across Wales. This has resulted in Youth Cymru ejecting young trans women from their meetings because of HMJ’s behaviour. Plaid Cymru is approaching activists and trans rights organisation asking to give donations and asking to buy funded training. We believe that this is an underhanded approach to damage control institutional transphobia and not address the root of the cause. Training is just the top of the iceberg. HMJ has been repeatedly enabled on a personal and institutional level directly by Plaid Cymru and Adam Price. We are worried that Plaid Cymru is choosing to actively turn back decades of good work by Plaid Cymru around equality issues to alienate would-be voters and members of Plaid Cymru. She has shown no remorse for any of this behaviour and we are worried about the environment that Plaid is creating for trans people and trans allies. Here is an article about HMJ's transphobia: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-55259522 Here is HMJ speaking with trans exclusionary hate group A Woman's Place https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qe2CjrBTC7w Here is the written testimony of a young trans woman of colour, Shash, who was ejected from a meeting because HMJ was there: https://itsshash.com/posts/llais-fanc-hustings-silenced-2021/ Here is another article about HMJ's transphobia: http://www.peoplefirstwales.org.uk/2018/04/trans-women-belong-in-womens-places.html ht

The Royal Family has a worrying and undemocratic ability to influence the government behind closed doors before final decisions in parliament are made. One way this happens is through ‘Queen’s consent.’ This requires new bills which would have a direct impact on the Queen’s powers or interests to be submitted for her formal consent. Without this, laws cannot be made. It is unfathomable that in the 21st century, in a democracy, the Queen and the Prince of Wales hold such great power. It may well be a constitutional monarchy in theory, but it seems that the monarchy has a lot more power than many previously thought.

This is improtant because not everyone is rich enough to afford it and alot of people have planned to travel for many reasons that are important to them befor these restrictions came to place. It is very unfair and inhuman not considering the less priviledge in a society thats meant to be rational in decision.

North West Migrants Forum is a network of individuals working together to tackle racial inequality and prejudice in Gregory Campbell's constituency of Derry/Londonderry. They have come out strongly against these comments and we must stand behind them. North West Migrants Forum state: "Mr Campbell’s statement is not a trivial matter; it is deeply irresponsible. It is deeply worrying that Mr Campbell can confidently display such clear bias, apparently without fear of challenge or accountability. Given his role as an elected representative and public servant, Mr Campbell’s statement cannot go unchallenged; the potential costs are too high. Just weeks since the horrific attack on the Belfast Multicultural Association, it is alarming that a political leader thinks it appropriate to use this kind of race-baiting to secure some sort of perceived political advantage, regardless of the consequences." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-55970058

That isnt even a question like this is so important because part of the reason for homophobia is because children arnt taught about being LGBT

The BBC article above makes very clear why!

Ems law was started by Ems mother, Ali Mccormick, after her child had been so systemically abused, misunderstood and failed by social care children’s services, camhs, previous education, police, courts and respite carer, that she collapsed from extreme trauma after unlawfully being put on child protection by a social worker not even qualified to do so. She eventually became so mentally unwell from being failed that she tried to take her own life and ended up in a mh unit who unlawfully restrained, failed to provide her assessed needs, injected and abused her and denied her humans rights to even see her family. There is not one provision in the uk for fasd and mh residentially. Over 7000 babies are born every year in uk alone and the worlds most common learning disability in the world, which can, and does, cause devastation to the person and their families/ carers Parents are ignored and often tragically blamed for the behaviour of their disabled child People are being incarcerated in mental health hospitals, prisons or punitive correction centres due to a lack of awareness of fasd and support. This is a world pandemic of injustice, unnecessary pain and monstrous disaster. People with fasd can achieve and do well in life. The correct provisions and scaffolding put in place can change lives. This tragedy needs urgent attention. Please sign and share everywhere, and make Em’s law of raising awareness of FASD mandatory, as well as knowledgeable support services.
