In the 10 years since Savita's death, the governments in the North and South of Ireland continue to fail marginalised women and pregnant people. A luta continua! Rest in power Savita Halappanavar, we will not forget you.
Solidarity with Iranian feminists! ACAB means ACAB everywhere ✊✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 زن زندگی آزادی! #JinaAmini #MahsaAmini #مهسا_امینی #زن_زندگی_آزادی
The mainstream gays partied passed us, which is not a bad analogy for how those pushing for Hate Crime Legislation won’t be the ones that they will use it against. Never give the State more powers; their interests are at odds with ours. We need to build community in solidarity.
They would say that we are being hateful towards the Gardaí, the landlords, the corporations, & never was that more clear than when they were beating us up at Pride. Please take the time to read some of the work that one of our member groups has put together on this.
This year, Gardaí repressed & attacked us at Radical Pride; a group of marginalised and racialised queers; for opposing the corporatisation of pride & housing crisis.They used any laws against us to shut us down & you can be sure that would include Hate Crime Legislation too.

Pulling this one out again. PLEASE think this all the way through before jumping on the hate crime legislation bandwagon. Don't give more power to the state who will use it against us.

Transcript of the powerful speech that was made on behalf of a sex worker as they did not feel safe enough to speak for themselves. This is why we say #nocopsatpride - 🧵
"It is not possible to support people who have abortions and be pro-police. It never was. We cannot claim to support the oppressed while giving untold sums of money and power to their oppressors 'in our defense'.” @RBraceySherman thenation.com/article/societ…
Another important 🧵 please RT If you are looking for us, here's where to find us: George's Quay. We are an affected-led grassroots group of queers who are building on over a decade of radical blocs that have been ignored by Dublin Pride.
Thank you Crème de la Crème for highlighting the importance of stable and accessible housing in marginalised queer folks' lives! #solidarity #pride
Cops are not welcome at Radical Queer Pride for Homes. #ACAB #nocopsatpride
This is your friendly reminder that the Garda have colonial roots, cops are not your friends (even the queer ones) and you can't do diversity and inclusion on opression. #noprideinpolice
♡ Let's go! ♡ * this is a radical space away from the nonsense of cops terfs swerfs political parties or landlords *

I'm once again asking people to not ask for hate crime laws and expansion of police powers. I'm also once again asking yt ppl to stop leading on the business of diversity & inclusion everything is uglyyy
And finally @drlucymichael on hate crime and society: “Hate crimes make invisible the commonalities we have with one another. It divides society at every level. We haven’t listened enough to those who have experienced hate and what they know about our society that we do not

'... I want to talk more about the other types of violence we face - the state violence and structural oppression that often leads many of us into entering sex work in the first place...'
Stonewall, the same movement that is now capitalised on by corp-Pride, was a rebellion that was kickstarted by the most vulnerable in our community, inc sex workers. Why did @DublinPride only allow sex workers to participate in 2016?!
Solidarity with all sex workers!
Sex worker struggles are inextricably linked to housing struggle. 'Brothel keeping' laws ensure sex workers work alone, which pushes them into dangerous living and working conditions. More info about this to follow, as well as how the Nordic Model actively harms sex workers
