"Lived experience is vital in building a better world for those who experience oppression and marginalisation to ensure that our voices are at the centre of change, but there needs to be a revaluation of how we understand, support and value it."- @chelsmacdonn.bsky.social (Chelsea McDonagh) ✊
“When you grow up in the shadow of suicide, you understand just how fragile and important life is, and you understand even more the urgency of creating a more just world. Action becomes a necessity and not just a nice-to-have. But this shouldn’t mean that you aren’t held in a culture of care”
"The language of liberation is co-opted whilst the tactics of oppression continue."

@chelsmacdonn.bsky.social on the experiences of Travellers within the charitable industrial complex for our latest blog series: 'The Limitations of Lived Experience'.

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...
No second state visit for Trump
This is UNBELIEVABLE. Keir Starmer has just handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and I was so outraged when I he...
