political polls tea leaf readers may say that climate hushing is the way forward for center left parties that want to stay afloat, but it seems to me that not talking about the climate *when it is in front of everyone‘s eyes* is enhancing, not diluting, public mistrust in politicians
we can and will survive the drought, but should not pretend that it won’t change the mental imaginary of our world (aka forget fresh green parks strolls in the summer)

Trans people also did it WITHOUT the Labour Party.
Unison spearheaded it. Longstanding trans rights groups like TransActual, TransLucent, FGEN, and Trans Safety Network spread the word. Thousands of trans individuals and allies took it from there.
Labour made this rally necessary, not possible.

Just a reminder that this was done in just over two days WITHOUT a billionaire bankrolling the movement. We did this through solidarity and community. Say what you want about LGBTQIA+ people, but we know how to organise.
