1 far right protester alone in the rain🪧

Today, in Derbyshire, over 50 people who believe in peace and belonging, kindness and compassion, community and justice all gathered to counter protest 📢

Our community chose hope, not hate 💚

2/2...I will do my best to support the Green Party in our mission.

Full results will be released later, for those wondering, I placed 3rd out of 9 candidates.

Thank you for your support now and in the future.

Tomorrow is a new day 🖤

Thank you 🤍

Honoured to have had the opportunity to present my Party with a choice. A choice of hope. A choice of unity. A choice of compassion.

Today a different choice was made and one which I hope gives our communities the representation they deserve...1/2

This is why solidarity matters.
"I don't know if you're gonna see this but thank you. I am a closeted trans girl, and the state of the country is scaring me a lot. Seeing someone actually give a shit about all these issues, not just dogpile on us as a scapegoat has given me a reason to hope that the future can be okay. Thank you and I wish you the best of luck. You've got my vote :)" - screenshot of a direct message to Frank

Two tier system 🪜

Want to tackle crime? Then go after criminals 👮

Want to divide society for political gain? Demonise and stereotype vulnerable people 👹

Miles Thorpe- Franks passion, election experience, media skills, ability to organise and energise people make him my clear 2nd choice for Deputy. Finn White - Frank is my first preference for Deputy leader because he has the elections experience and the media skills we need for the future. He will enable us to win more councillors and MPs and take the fight to Reform. Olli Watkins - Frank has shown that he has the elections experience and media cut through to help us win big. His energy, passion and honesty are exactly what our party needs right now.

Max McLaughlin - I've worked closely with Frank in Solihull to get more Greens elected. His passion, creativity, commitment to our values and compassion was motivational. I know Frank will provide the party with the inspiration and enthusiasm to move the Green Party forward. Ben Williams - We need big thinkers, confident speakers and inspiring story tellers. Frank has the perfect blend of empathy and tenacity to push us forward and fight for an equal and green society. Frankly, it's got to be Frank for Deputy! Cameron Palin - with Frank's social media skills and laser light focus on messaging, we won't only grow our movement but begin to shift the nations conversation!

Frank Adlington-Stringer “Trans rights are human rights, and I am deeply concerned by the increasing attacks on the rights of trans people to live freely, safely, and with dignity. There is no LGBT without the T and we must make sure that everyone can access necessary healthcare and support.” Mothin Ali "Trans people are one of the most visible and marginalised minorities — and I know what it feels like to be othered. I’m a brown, Muslim man with a big beard and brown skin.The people who come after me are the same people who come after trans people. This is a shared struggle — and we rise by lifting each other up.” Thomas Daw “Trans people have always existed. The supreme court ruling is damaging to a lot of people’s lives. The people it does affect are now in personal danger due to government policy and guidance. It does nothing to address the safety of women and children and distracts from that issue.” Antoinette Fernandez “The ruling had a really negative impact on trans people and I think it’s heartbreaking that anyone should feel afraid of using public services. It puts vulnerable people at risk of prejudice and discrimination and that’s not acceptable.” Alex Mace “I believe trans women are women and trans men are men. No one is protected by taking away the rights of others to be their true authentic selves.” Rachel Millward “Trans rights are human rights. As somebody who has been a long term campaigner on gender equality I say feminism is a liberation struggle, we can be expansive and I don’t want to be focused on external definitions of what a woman is and we should break free from those.” Ash Routh “The 2010 Equality Act has always allowed service providers to treat trans people differently where this could be said to be a ‘proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim’ which is a very low bar. In terms of my day to day life [as a trans person] it doesn’t change very much. I’m more worried about people misrepresenting this ruling. It doesn’t for example require trans women to use men's toilets or trans men to use the women’s. I think far more dangerous is people accidently or in bad faith misrepresenting the ruling and then the impact that can have on decisions made by service providers.” Ani Townsend “Through my years in the party, I have demonstrated my commitment to supporting my community. Representation is important, and if I was chosen to be a deputy, then I would be the first out queer trans person in national Leadership of a major political party. I will always do everything in my power to stop society from removing our right to be exactly who we are. And that fight starts with our own party.” Chas Warlow “The ruling was a poor decision. It prevents self-identification and it sets up a position which is impractical, intrusive and against our sense of fairness.”
