This Sunday. Please get along to show that Belfast, and NI, is a welcoming place no matter where you are from ✊🏻❤️

If you’re trans, non-binary or questioning, and you’ve been concerned about what has happened this week - just look at the support that showed up for you yesterday in London at short notice. ✊🏻🏳️⚧️ #TransRightsAreHumanRights

We stand with trans people. We stand with women. Against the very forces who want to pit us all against each other.
Some things to note after today’s judgement:
▪️The judgement was arrived at today after lobbying by anti-trans groups. No LGBTQ+ groups or voices were cited in judgement.
▪️The Equality Act still has protections for trans people & trans women who are discriminated against as women.
▪️Though the Equality Act does not refer to NI, just Britain
▪️A gender recognition certificate still has legal footing over a birth certificate in terms of identity - as outlined by Article 2 of the Windsor Framework
▪️This is not the first time the U.K. Supreme Court has ruled, erroneously, against LGBTQ+ people. This is not the end. Just a bump in the road.
▪️#TransRightsAreHumanRights is still legit & we stand with those affected by the news today.

This Earth Day we are asking our followers to act local. We know the climate crisis is a worldwide problem but if we all act local, as well as think bigger, we can help achieve a better climate for future generations.
Some issues we want people to concentrate on locally are:
🌍 Demand an independent Environmental Protection Agency (the key word here being “independent”!)
🌍 Don’t let our politicians forget about saving Lough Neagh (they talk a big game, we need actual action)
🌍 Join the calls to ban petroleum licensing & tell your councillors to vote against any expansion of climate damaging projects like fracking
🌍 Oppose the building & opening of new data centres (21% of total electricity usage in Ireland is due to data centres)
🌍 Join the fight for these & more - join a political party or activist group (you could join PPNI, DM for details 😄)
This is only a few climate related issues that affects us locally. You can read more about it in our Charter at progressivepoliticsni.com

Shocking that in 2025 that this is still happening. Stormont must act to provide clear legislation to ensure these kind of circumstances are dealt with & ended.

A couple of unremarkable statements, but until both have happened we must continue to repeat them - legalise cannabis & open safe injection rooms for those in need. Drug law reform can’t happen soon enough.

Most right minded people will find it hard to believe that Tierney gave a character reference without knowing why that man was charged, especially considering the fact another woman spoke out on his support for a different man accused of rape. 🤔
