This evening MPs will vote on whether the UK should call for a ceasefire in Gaza and Israel. Despite the UN and humanitarian agencies saying a ceasefire is essential to save lives, Parliament is split on the issue. Will you help tip the balance by telling your MP to vote for a ceasefire?https://actionaid-mail.org.uk/21O5-8GONB-JMKQ9A-5B3XL2-1/c.aspx#GazaGenocide #cease_fire_now

Good Law Project A secret briefing document has revealed a campaign to attack Good Law Project on social media. Influencers are being asked for details of their fees, but they must “keep the brand confidential and not tag Palantir”.The document bears the branding of the PR firm Topham Guerin and directly targets Good Law Project, because of our concerns over the £330m deal between tech giant Palantir and the Government to process millions of NHS patient records.Donate:https://goodlawproject.org/donate/?utm_source=Good+Law+Project&utm_campaign=6a16d01936-EMAIL_NHSData_2023_12_22_09_03&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_db5adb9599-8a08afac31-%5BLIST_EMAIL_ID%5D&mc_cid=6a16d01936&mc_eid=029f2a5337

@Geri Thank you Geri!!We need to encourage men to sign too: I have. Men can support women in standing up for trans rights by signing thus doubling the impact.This legislation is ridiculous and discriminatory and opens the door to legislation banning abortion and removing women`s bodily autonomy.We need to all be in this together.#TransRightsAreHumanRights
