BASH BACK

13 June

🚨BREAKING🚨 Independent actionists representing BASH BACK have targeted the EHRC’s offices in Cardiff, Cymru. The EHRC cannot run away from the consequences of their bigoted “guidance”. The fight continues. xoxo BASH BACK

THE NHS IS KILLING US Via the new EHRC Guidance, the NHS has set into motion segregationist policies which, in their trial, have ALREADY killed, and will no doubt kill more. Our demands remain the same: DISCLOSE THE DEATH TOLL DROP THE EHRC xoxo BASH BACK #justiceforjoelle

The NHS continues the trend of segregating, abusing, and covering up the deaths of trans people in their "care". It's clear now that no matter how much party politicking we do, nothing will change, not for the better. They have the world. We can take it back. Join us. tinyurl.com/JoinBASHBACK

The NHS knows that its new policy is going to harm patients, and it's doing it anyway. It is an active choice being made by this Labour government – don't let them pretend their hands are bound.

The scale of negligence committed by the NHS' Gender Clinics cannot be understated, and yet only 3 of the 13 clinics asked in QueerAF's survey actually disclosed suicide figures. To the NHS GCS: DISCLOSE THE DEATH TOLL Every trans suicide is murder, every cover-up is intentional xoxo BASH BACK

JUSTICE FOR TURKISH QUEERS Under authorities that persecute queers for being "obscene" we must do all we can to be more obscene than ever. No justice. No peace. Global liberation now. xoxo BASH BACK

There has been a noticeable lack of serious reaction over Turkish persecution of LGBTQIA+ community from the global community. As in many other countries, Türkiye tries to mask persecution by claiming being LGBTQIA+ isn't illegal and then using "obscenity laws". www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

The London Assembly, spurred on by Reform UK, have elected to publicly condemn BASH BACK. This is a blatant attempt to distract from a wave of fascist and anti-trans violence conducted and spurred on by the state, politicians, and right-wing agitators. We won't be intimidated (1/2)

BASH BACK is a non-violent organisation, we have asserted this time and time again. But nothing will convince ReformUK, who use actual physical violence to enforce "order". Fuck Fascism. We will resist. But we need your support. Support us. Endorse us. Join us. lnk.bio/BASHBACK xoxo BASH BACK

Amnesty UK have apologised to JK Rowling for rightfully calling out her anti-rights rhetoric. Shame on them. A human rights organisation should not cave to pressure from billionaires, especially those who wish to make supporting human rights a terrorist offence. xoxo BASH BACK

Well well well between this and the call to proscribe Bash Back we really are through the looking glass where property damage is now “terrorist violence“, PA proscription really did open the door to the authoritarianism knocking
