We Can Do It!






Please save these dates




















"The march and rally are taking place on Sunday 4th March 2018. The event is in partnership with the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, and a range of charity partners, including Muslim Women’s Network, White Ribbon Campaign, Fawcett Society, UNISON and more. This year’s #March4Women coincides with the centenary of the Representation of the People Act, that extended the right to vote to the first women in the UK. We will mark this once-in-a-generation historic moment with a mass march from Parliament Square, to finish with a vibrant rally with music in Trafalgar Square, in celebration of those who have fought, and continue to fight for equal rights; and to call out for action on the shocking inequalities and abuses that still remain worldwide. " I'm honoured and excited to be asked to speak at Trafalgar Square ... Courage is a muscle ... Pessimism is for lightweights!
