@elliereeves as your constituent will you vote tomorrow to #KeepTheLifeline for UC? + legacy benefits? LCC is an emergency food org, believe us when we say, it's the only way forward. More info here >> thank you @JanetDaby for your support in this video youtube.com/watch?v=DCbyk6E5…
To #KeepTheLifeline is the crucial aspect of fighting poverty, including hunger. Will you vote against the cut to UC and for its extension to those on legacy benefits? @HackneyAbbott @DrRosena @PutneyFleur @ApsanaBegumMP @MarshadeCordova @CliveEfford @FeryalClark @KarenPBuckMP
@LewishamCouncil We wont stop asking about how the Covid Winter Grant Scheme funds will be allocated. LCC @LegendaryCClub are looking forward to hearing from you soon.
2/2 We are asking you to please be clear on how this money will be spent and exactly what additional measures will taken to help families. For many families our survival depends on this @Brenda_Dacres @jgslater @chris_barnham @ChrisBestUK
Thank you so much for your powerful and thoughtful contributions to this podcast Asha #BisexualVisibilityDay
Happy #BisexualVisibilityDay! However you identify, please listen to this Bisexuality Special by @outvertising to hear important stories of Bi-erasure, queer labels, biphobia & pride: bit.ly/O_BVD #LGBTQ #Podcast
Milk can be one of the many beautiful functions of breasts, but I can feel ashamed of feeding in public. So I want to start talking about BREASTS openly! & perhaps take some power back from their (BREASTS) objectification years ago on 'ratemytits. com' (uploaded without #consent)
I also had no idea, until almost too late, that you can donate milk (or money) to charities who are working to save premature babies in NICUs > @heartsmilkbank @milk_foundation @UKAMB1 #donormilk #milkbank

How did I miss this from @VikkiReynolds5!
"Structuring safety and creating cultures of critique requires that we create relationships of respect and dignity as a frame for our solidarity." dulwichcentre.com.au/resisti…
I hope when I return to C&I the 'commitment' to 'real action' has turned into 'real action'. Hearing the voices, followed by inaction would be unforgivable. A small group from @PsychSocChange wrote this letter which we urge you to read psychchange.org/embed-anti-r…

This is the most amazing project & they are raising money, please read their page & consider it. Especially the Psychologists out there. This is what 'psychological support' should look like @MilkHoneyBees

But how can you ask young people to get involved in reforming stop and search, when racism and trauma has eroded trust over so many years? How can this be made safe? @BBCNewsnight @ShaunBaileyUK
Haringey Communities Against Violence and Haringey Independent Stop and Search Monitoring Group, are doing incredible work. They offer help, advice and information to young people on stop and search. Check them out -hcav.co.uk/police-engagement…

Important report from @StopWatchUK in 2018 about the 'Gangs Matrix' and how UK policing practices discriminate against, criminalise and exclude vulnerable young people who are at risk of harm: stop-watch.org/our-work/gang…
Such an important piece of writing for everyone in psychology and beyond

No one should be going about their days as if nothing has happened. If that's what you have been doing so far, there's still time to stop, learn, change. This involves us ALL.

Watching this again from Taiwo - these ideas are now more relevant than ever for psychology which has an opportunity to enter into a new, hopefully more just, community oriented chapter. Learning from non-western (majority) psychologies, and our own past is surely essential
Taiwo Afuape began the conference yesterday in the most incredible way, via this video we recorded - youtube.com/watch?v=GSM8jyYp… I would recommend that all trainees and anyone involved in clinical psychology give this a watch! (with Taiwo's generous permission) #HearUsNow
I also went back to The Work Cure last night following the gov. speech, particularly helpful insights from the Disability and its problem with work section by Arianna Introna & Mirella Casagrande "Disability offers a particularly sharp focus through which to answer...[the] call
