Poster for an emergency protest. The text reads: EMERGENCY PROTEST 17TH OF JUNE CENTRAL BRISTOL The government are planning their first reading of their proposed cuts on the 18th of June. This is a blatant disregard of their public “consultation” period which ends on the 30th. They are pushing this through to ignore our voices and so MPs do not have all the information for their decisions. Show them we will not stand for it!

This "debate" about who should use what toilet doesn’t benefit anyone. It doesn’t fix the underfunding of women's refuges, NHS waiting lists leaving women in terrible pain, mums skipping meals to feed their kids. How about we get on with tackling the real issues affecting women?

#PIP

The toxic DWP are sending out a vile survey asking disabled people in receipt of PIP spend their money

They have no legal right to ask & you have no legal obligation to fill it in!
Image is on a blue background with purple & blue text The DWP Survey on how recipients are spending their pip money is being sent out So how should you respond? Option A: The DWP have no legal right to this information and you have no legal obligation to provide them with this information. Their aim is to further stigmatise disability benefits and invalidate disabled people’s experiences Option B: Respond with Opposition Respond with a letter of opposition highlighting the injustices of the proposed changes and their injustices Remember; give no information on how you spend your personal independence payments
