Does anyone here in Bluesky know people who are part of the Queer Liberation March in NYC? Or, anyone who might have contacts with people involved in it?

If yes, please send me a private message!

There has been a scary increase of racist and xenophobic verbal and physical attacks, racist graffiti and other forms of xenophobic vandalism in York over the last month, in connection with the Operation Raise the Colour.

This must stop! If you are in York, do join the rally on the 4th October!

I'm very proud to have organised this letter with @alasianuti.bsky.social - my understanding is it was discussed at a reasonably high level in the Labour party

Petition An Open Letter to Keir Starmer We, the undersigned, strongly advise against the proposed changes to the UK immigration system of May 12, 2025, and your associated rhetoric. We are UK-based academics.....

A week ago there was an open letter signed by politics researchers urging Keir Starmer to abandon his proposed anti-immigrant policies. With the support of the organizers, I've created the same petition but open to all academics.
Read and sign the letter here: molliegerver.weebly.com/petition.html.
