Replying to @gtmtrav
@gtmtrav was delighted to attend the @itmtrav AGM. The theme was "Safeguarding Traveller Culture for the Future." Great to meet up with other strong Traveller organisations as we work together to fight for Traveller Human Rights. #StrongerTogether #Endracism #Travellerhomesnow

📚Almost 2 out of 3 of the calls @SVP_Ireland received on #BackToSchool costs were from lone parents. The vast majority of lone parents are women. 👉#Budget2024 is a huge opportunity for government to address systemic disadvantages like these for women. thejournal.ie/back-to-school…
Over 250 parents contacted SVP every day last week about back-to-school costs

The charity is “hopeful” that the Government will make school books free at secondary level in the upcoming Budget.

I joined twitter to gain a platform for when I run for election in 2028. I want to run for election because I've been a young girl that has seen a lot of wrong. I want to change the system of domestic abuse, discrimination against the minority and be a positive change to life.

I am 17, Although I am young, I am an activist, a traveller activist, recently employed by kildare Traveller action in relation to education, a member of a political party, former chair of student council, I am actively campaigning for a direct public bus service to help students access their education, but also when I was just 15 I put forward a period poverty proposal for my school with the help of @ChrisPenderKE I am only 17, I have a life ahead of me and I want to do so much more, young people should be embraced and uplifted and made apart of the conversation, we are the future. So we should have a voice in shaping it.
