When we were out in Preston sending solidarity to our Palestinian brothers and sisters an angry man came up to us and accused us of not supporting others in different conflicts, I am still a bit confused by his assertions but he was more than matched by many others who thanked and supported us.

Yesterday #endnotdefend held a meeting in parliament to hear from victims and their harrowing stories made it clear that women are still being subjected to unacceptable sexual violence at work. On International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women let’s end it all!

Don’t wait for the next heat wave, do something now. Talk to your employer about how they are controlling the risks of working in heat. Some great suggestions in this gmhc fact sheet. Heat waves will only get more frequent.
