Image of hundreds of protesters gathering at the Birmingham AIDS & HIV Memorial on Hurst Street on Saturday 26th April. BIRMINGHAN STANDS TOGETHER TO BACK TRANS LIBERATION! Trans rights are human rights! On Saturday 26 April Birmingham stood in solidarity with the trans community and trans+ voices were heard in the city. The protest was one of many happening that weekend as protesters took to the streets across the UK. The previous weekend saw people protesting up and down the country, including thousands that marched through London. The protests are in response to the recent High Court ruling that has emboldened people who want to attack trans+ rights. Protesters were joined by former Birmingham poet laureate Jasmine Gardosi who will recited a poem at the event. The Birmingham event attracted support and solidarity from numerous community groups and trade unions including: Brum Against Hate Birmingham Friends of the Earth (BFoE) UNISON LGBT+ Birmingham Pride Community Foundation Birmingham LGBT Trans Central Lichfield Pride Trans Pride Birmingham The Trans Tearoom Not Your Scapegoat Birmingham TUC UNISON Walsall General Branch Disabled People Against Cuts Unite Community Birmingham PCS Midlands University & College Union (UCU) UNISON Birmingham National Education Union (NEU) We Demand Change UNISON Black LGBT+
