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.

Today is Trans Day of Remembrance (TDoR), a day where we pause to remember those who we have lost around the world this year to transphobic violence.

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.

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow that’s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?

The far right are not defenders of women - they exploit violence against women to fuel hate and division.

Standing up for women’s rights means rejecting racism and division, and building unity to demand real action to end violence against women and girls.

The mask slips and For Women Scotland are revealed as an anti-trade union fringe group. NASUWT policy is debated and voted on by our serving teacher members. Who do FWS represent? Not the majority of women in Scotland who agree that #TransRightsAreHumanRights #STUC #UnitedWorkers

Younger generations need to know that their lives won’t get better with crypto grifts, or oppressing others. Their lives will get better by joining trade unions and forming solidarity with others. A strong trade union movement is one of the best lines of defence a country has against fascism.

Wherever the far right mobilise to try and bring racism, hatred and division, we will come together to show that our communities stand united against racism and the far right, that we stand with victims and survivors, and for justice for all women.

Our strength lies in our reach: we represent workers in their workplaces. We are a diverse movement—now majority female.

And because our success depends on unity, confronting racism & the far right is not optional. It is existential
