The Good Law Project is fundraising to challenge the UK Supreme Court's recent ruling on in the European Court of Human Rights.
If you are unaware, the ruling of the UK Supreme Court was that under the Equality Act 2010, 'sex' was to be interpreted as 'biological sex', rather than gender. This upended over a decade of existing practice and interpretation.
If you are able to contribute, please do: this ruling was devastating blow to the community, undermining our expectations and safety.

Boosts would be welcome - the more people see this, the better the chances of them hitting their goal.

UK: Even the Evening Standard is urging people not to vote Labour in the upcoming elections because of its horrific transphobia, racism, xenophobia and ableism. Labour is already Reform.

Folks, please don’t be so hard on Labour.
It’s not easy laying the foundations for the UK’s upcoming fascist government. (The Democrats should know; it takes dedicated effort.)
They’re working as hard as they can as it is to ensure the UK follows in the footsteps of the US.

So, yet again my small high street cookshop in a rural English town has paid more tax than Starbucks entire UK operation.
Cynically, Starbucks is more than profitable enough to pay £40m of royalties to its US parent company, thereby incuring a loss of £35m.
Global revenue for 2024 was $36billion.
As a Green Party district councillor it makes my blood boil.

BREAKING: The UK government's attempt to hold the Apple encryption case entirely in secret has been REJECTED.
ORG, Big Brother Watch and Index on Censorship made a submission to the court arguing for open justice.
In a win for privacy rights, the court agrees.
It said it didn't accept “that the revelation of the bare details of the case would be damaging to the public interest or prejudicial to national security”.

So well put by George Monbiot. Applies to our tepid Labor government here in Australia too. People don’t want to be regarded only as economic units, and if you block leftist reform they reach for hard-right chaos.
"The democratic recession does not begin when a far-right party takes office. It begins when a centrist party crushes hope in democracy. When Keir Starmer’s government takes a chainsaw to people’s aspirations for a fairer, greener, kinder country, he cuts off not just faith in the Labour party but faith in politics itself. The almost inevitable result, as countries from the US to the Netherlands, Argentina to Austria, Italy to Sweden show, is to let the far right in."
