This is horrendous from Redbridge Council. Rosa Gomez has been disqualified as a councillor after the council failed to implement reasonable adjustments to enable her to fulfill the requirements of her role, including barring her support worker from accompanying her to meetings

LGBTQ+ rights are not up for debate. Using marginalized communities as political footballs is a cruel and desperate strategy. #EqualityAct #TransRights

Five years ago, the House passed the #EqualityAct to protect LGBTQ+ Americans.

Five years later, it is still not law.

I will continue to fight to protect marriage equality, repeal the trans military ban, close health gaps, & support LGBTQ+ people.

5 years ago, the House passed the #EqualityAct to include protections for LGBTQI+ people in federal law. Unfortunately, it was blocked in the Senate. But the fight continues! I'm committed to seeing this bill become law so that EVERY American can have a fair shot at success, no matter who they love.

Today marks 5 years since the House passed the #EqualityAct to enshrine explicit protections for LGBTQ people into federal law.

While it hasn't become law yet, I'll keep fighting to ensure ALL people are protected from discrimination—no matter who they are or who they love. @equality.house.gov

Five years since the U.S. House passed the Equality Act. IMAGE: Text in front of a Pride flag flying at the U.S. Capitol

The Equality Act explained: amends federal law to explicitly prohibit discrimination against LGBTQI+ people; adds new protections against sex discrimination to federal civil rights laws; and, Expands protections for minority communities in public accommodations. The Equality Act explicitly prohibits discrimination against LGBTQI+ people in: employment, housing, credit, education, federally-funded programs, public accommodations, and jury service.

5yrs ago, the House passed the #EqualityAct to prohibit discrimination against LGBTQI+ people in key areas of life, strengthen protections against sex discrimination, & expand public accommodations protections for all.

We won't stop fighting until the Equality Act becomes law!

Manual for Streets! The DMRB! Women! And… A Bob Ross Painting? Or, why we’ve spent twenty years obsessing over bin lorries while ignoring the "forever hum of fear”

Motonormativity invites isolation and intimidation. Designing specifically for women invites safer streets for everyone else.

Many women and men fought for #WomensRights Don’t let Reform remove them now. #EqualityAct Know your rights!

Hard to now find a #WomensRights group that hasn’t been hijacked by right wingers trying to remove LGBTQ rights. Equal rights is about fairness for all, regardless of sex, sexual orientation, race, age, disability. #EqualityAct. This is not ‘progressive’ this is regressive. Ladies know your rights.

They are declaring war on #WomensRights Why would any woman vote to have your rights removed? This will leave women at risk of abuse, it won’t be safe to go out, zero career chances, low pay, no maternity leave etc #EqualityAct #ECHR

A country with no rights for women won’t be a safe place to live. #EqualityAct #ECHR. Don’t vote Reform!

Reform are showing their extremism on women’s rights now! #EqualityAct

The Equality Act protects individuals from discrimination in employment, education, and all aspects of life.

Its repeal would impact families, women, men, LGBTQIA+, disabled and older people - all of us. This is Reform’s Britain.

As a neurodivergent woman, I'm terrified for the future as political parties continue to target equality, diversity and inclusion Why inclusion matters, and should begin in schools, education and youth work

In my latest Substack, I've written about why laying down the foundations for inclusion in schools, education and youth work matters now more than ever ⬇️

How can anyone vote to take away the #EqualityAct? This is truly disgraceful! If you care about disabled people don’t vote Reform. If you care about Women’s rights, don’t vote Reform.

REFORM's plans to SCRAP #EqualityAct & ‘Legalise Discrimination’ get TORN APART

leftfootforward.org/2026/02/refo...

Reform is banging on about repealing the Equality Act because it doesn't say anything about class discrimination affecting white working class boys. Surely the answer to that is to amend the Act so that socio economic status is a protected characteristic?

#equalityact

Your right to equality is currently protected. After Brexit it won’t be Departure will remove vitally important safeguards

A piece I wrote for @prospectmagazine.co.uk back then on why weakening the #EqualityAct protections may come over time, & why some form of constitutional protections were and are necessary. Over to Labour, @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social.
