📢 OUR LATEST PSA TO SAVE WOMEN'S SPORTS JUST DROPPED! Things are really heating up in the world of women's professional basketball thanks to Sophie Cunningham's bravery in telling it like it is: men don't belong in women's sports. We couldn't miss the chance to add our voices to Sophie's. The time has come to tell the @WNBA to keep women's basketball female. So our latest Public Service Announcement does just that. Now, you shouldn't have to be brave to make reality-based statements. But we know, during these absurd times, that any woman who speaks up for women and girls risks a lot. So our deep gratitude goes out to @serenawilliams, @Martina and @sophaller whose words are featured in our latest video. And, while we're at it, we thank all the women athletes globally who've had the guts to proclaim out loud what everyone knows to be true: it's just not fair to pit males against females in sporting competitions. **We want to take our message to the streets again** You may recall our first PSA to Save Women's Sports debuted on the streets of Toronto last month and, wow, did we ever make a splash. The video was seen by tens of thousands of residents and visitors in big, beautiful colour on the @RebelNewsOnline billboard truck during the final match of the FIFA World Cup (which was also a Blue Jays game day!) and again the week after driving around the city. We also got tons of social views and coverage by Rebel News -- and it even made waves south of the border when @glennbeck picked up the story because a "concerned citizen" reported the truck to the police for a "hate crime". Long story short: it isn't. Duh. We simply promote safety, dignity and fairness for women and girls. No hate. Full stop. **Can you help? Let's do it again!** Let's get our newest PSA out on the streets on the Rebel billboard truck. Will you donate and help us make it happen? Click the link in the next post to contribute to our campaign to get the message out. Huge thank you to all our donors who contributed to the first go-round. We couldn't do this without you! Together we can keep women's sports female.

Precisely. Seven years of @cawsbar committing to a cause that gives women & girls back their sex-based rights. It was a banner day in Kitchener, Ottawa, Calgary and Vancouver!
Finally, our first MP attends one of our demonstrations! This is progress.

Two firsts yesterday at our #KPSS demonstration. We've been doing them since 2021. An MP showed up and so did counter-protesters. We're over the target. Let's keep going, women!
Yesterday in Kitchener, a little gaggle of disruptors made a pathetic attempt to stop us from standing up for women. Check out the woman in black. She says to me "I'm not filming. Only aggressive weirdos film," while she's clearly filming me! Classic projection writ large. #KPSS

Time is running out! Here’s another question to ask your candidates: Q:  Does your party support giving children puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones while telling them they can change their sex? You can also ask them if they’re aware of long-term effects.

I recommend getting out with like-minded reality-based women and men. The magic happens IRL and you'll be enriched for the experience. This was a great day.
Thanks again, everyone, for coming out today in Kitchener. What a marvelous day standing up for vulnerable women!

Today was my mom’s very first protest, standing up for women’s rights outside Grand Valley Prison. Having my mom standing beside me today, at a place that holds so much of my past, meant more to me than she probably realizes. ❤️ #KeepPrisonsSingleSex

Shout-out to my dear friend @Mason134211f for organizing a great demonstration today at Grand Valley Institution for Women in Kitchener. We've come a long way over the past 7 years in developing @cawsbar, a national grassroots network of concerned women. Our Charter challenge to restore sex segregation in women's prisons will do much to raise public awareness. We'll keep showing up for women until we get the job done. Will you?

Every woman matters. Props to my Canadian sisters raising their voices in unison to say, “Every Woman Matters!” #KeepPrisonsSingleSex #KPSS #Canada
EVERY WOMAN MATTERS. Every woman who stands up, speaks out, and refuses to look away sends a powerful message to the women behind those prison walls: You have not been forgotten. For women incarcerated and forced to share their spaces with males, that solidarity matters. Every woman. Every voice. Every act of solidarity.

It was a pleasure meeting @KellyDeRidderMP, Federal Shadow Minister for Women and Gender Equality, today outside the Grand Valley Institution for Women in Kitchener, Ontario. Thank you so much for caring about women's safety and taking the time to come and speak with us, Kelly! We look forward to many more meaningful conversations. @Mason134211f @MaureenWRC @esme_saysno

Replying to @TheRedTentCo
🚨FROM THE FRONT LINES OF WOMEN’S RIGHTs KITCHENER, ONTARIO, CANADA 🇨🇦 OCTOBER 17, 2026 WOMEN’S SAFETY IS NOT NEGOTIABLE. Today, The Red Tent Collective stands alongside the women of @cawsbar and Canadian women everywhere, out there protesting the housing of male prisoners in women’s prisons, including Grand Valley Institution for Women. Their message is clear: Women’s prisons must remain single-sex spaces. Women’s safety, privacy, and dignity are not privileges. They are fundamental rights worth defending. Women will not be silenced. Women will not be erased. #WomensRights #KeepPrisonsSingleSex #TheRedTentCollective
