Today is #WorldAIDSDay. It’s time to get back on track to end AIDS as a public health threat once and for all.
Working together, we must double-down on our commitment to tackle the inequalities that fuel the epidemic.

Today is #TransDayofRemembrance 🕯️This is a day to mourn and celebrate our trans siblings whose lives have been cut short as a result of transphobia.

A very happy #LesbianVisibilityWeek to all!
Our aim is to both celebrate lesbians, as well as show our solidarity to all LGBTQIA women and non binary people in our community.
We believe in unity, and lifting up those who are most marginalised.

Today is #TransDayOfVisibility 🏳️⚧️💖
It is vital now more than ever to stand with our trans & gender-nonconforming siblings, fight for their rights & spread as much trans joy & power as possible.
We are here, we will remain radically visible & we are NOT going anywhere💪
