SUMMARY:Online LGBTQ+ History Month Event
DESCRIPTION:Online LGBTQ+ History Month Event\nThis year marks 20 years since Section 28\, the law that banned “promotion of homosexuality” in the UK\, was repealed. \nBut while LGBTQ+ education and visibility has come a long way since then\, the echoes of Section 28 can still be heard today: from the 200\,000 people who recently signed a petition to remove LGBTQ+ education from the national curriculum in England\, to Florida’s notorious “Don’t Say Gay” law. \nEducation is one of the seven core principles of the co-operative movement\, which is why this LGBTQ+ History Month\, LGBTQ+ Co-operators will be holding an event on the importance of LGBTQ+-inclusive education to the furthering of equality\, looking at how far we’ve come since Section 28\, and how far we have to go. \nJoin us on Zoom on Thursday 23rd February at 6pm for an excellent panel of expert speakers including: \n🐝 Baroness Thornton\, Shadow Spokesperson for Equalities and Women’s Issues \n🐝 Olivia Blake MP \n🐝 Rico Jacob Chace\, Director of TransActual \n🐝 Victoria Newbould\, Inclusion Lead at Alton College \nThis online event will be live captioned for greater accessibility.

Cutting bills\, cuttings emissions and protecting us from future price rises. Starting right now. \nJoin us on Zoom to hear more about the campaign and how we can all work together to achieve this.  With James Butler – Co-operative Party Campaigns Officer\, Cllr Tom Renhard – Bristol City Council and Imogen Sykes – People Powered Retrofit.  Followed by a facilitated Q&A chaired by Cllr Emma Hoddinott – Asst.
