Trans Rights Now!

| Sheree

I stand with The Revolutionary Communist Group and anyone else who stands against every attempt to exclude trans people from public life, education, healthcare, housing, and the services and spaces people need to live with dignity.

These attacks will not be beaten by appealing to the British state’s institutions that are bringing them out. They have to be met with organisation, solidarity and struggle.

This meeting is about building that response in Newcastle.

Thursday 30 July, 7pm Diversity Hub, Newcastle.

See you there!

Confronting Fascism

| Sheree

What are you most worried about for the future?

Resistance, Steve McQueen, National Galleries of Scotland, 2025

the undercurrent has always been present, simmering like lava just below the surface ready to rise up at weak points, at moment of disarray and hopelessness. hate shimmers like jewels to those who have little but promised more. clinging to the sharp edges of hate because it’s something to feel, to use as a weapon against others instead of the self. hate with fear, a lethal concoction corroding within as well as without.

1936. October. With a chill in the air, the blackshirts ruffled through the East End of London, snaking their territory, their Ayran rights. With Police fronting, they still couldn’t take the streets. Jews, Irish, Communists, Blacks, Labour activists, workers unite. Stand firm. Shoulder to shoulder, they shall not pass. Blackshirts, angry scrunched up faces, hearts riddled with hate and fear, shall not pass.
