We love this message from @ImmyKaur in response to the news this week and the experiences of so many womxn for many decades.
The climate emergency and the survival of our planet and home is the biggest safety issue of our generation. We must act now!
New U.N. climate-panel report says rising seas, melting ice caps and other effects of climate change may be irreversible for centuries and are “unequivocally” driven by greenhouse gases from human activity. Via @leHotz, @WSJ wsj.com/articles/some-climat…

There have been horrific videos circulating online this week of a woman being sexually assaulted in London by England fans after our last match.
Men, if you spot any abuse DO NOT stand idly by, please act and report immediately to the emergency services.

Imagine if we had our own space to practice self defence, box, try some yoga, breathe,walk in nature,meditate, relax,dance, rave, DJ and just feel completely free of the male gaze. Imagine that.
