‘We do need to protect children.

We need to protect them from those who would spread fear and stoke division’
👏👏👏
It's 'call a spade a spade' time with this stuff. These people don't care about protecting kids - they care about hatred.

Education is often perceived as a threat by the far right yet education remains the best tool we have to counter racist narratives, to address prejudice against refugees and to tackle intolerance in our communities.
NASUWT will not allow the spreading of misinformation and inciting violence to go unchecked - racism or bigotry of any kind must not be tolerated.

If we are serious about ending sexual harassment and misogyny/misogynoir in education, we must commit to intersectional action, policies that see race, gender and gender identity together and organising that builds power, individually and collectively.

A woman’s place is in the revolution ✊

Change happens when we name the problem, break the silence and organise collectively.

I will always stand in solidarity with the trans community 🏳️‍⚧️

On #transdayofremembrance we honour the lives of trans siblings taken by anti-trans violence.

Tonight is about remembering, but collectively we must also demand better.

Tara seconding the composite motion on Misogyny, Extremism & the Rise of the Far Right.

Women teachers are disproportionately targeted, with increased challenges to their authority, as well as abuse and assaults.

What an end to day 1 #STUCBlackworkers25.

NASUWT supporting the Composite C: Tackling the Far Right.

As a movement we must mobilise, in the streets, in workplaces, in our communities and in our trade unions to provide messages of hope and unity to defeat hatred and division.
