Trans Rights Protest – Cancelled

It is with an incredibly heavy heart that I must announce that the Trans Rights Protest on 5th September is cancelled.

On 3rd September we liaised with the MET police and they assured us, after the news of Piers Corbyn's arrest, that ...

there would be no risk of arrests or fines because our protest posed no risk of danger.

Today on 4th September the police called us and informed us that there is a likelihood that us, any participants, stewards and even BSL interpreters of the Trans Rights Protest will ...

be arrested on 5th September.

We have liaised with Polish Rainbow and have both come to the decision that it would be dangerous for attendees, volunteers and all concerned if we went ahead with our planned events. We cannot risk people being arrested and fined, especially ...

given the high risk to marginalised groups when encountered by the police.

The Tory government have from this moment effectively banned all protests, which is a violation of the Human Rights Act.

I am so sorry to speakers and volunteers, and my organisational team, who ...

have all worked so incredibly hard and invested so much labour into this event.

The funds raised will cover any cancellation fees for our BSL interpreters, if there are any remaining funds (at the time of writing we reached 82% of our £600 goal) we shall reserve these ...

for assisting future events such as the London Transgender Day of Remembrance vigil planned at Parliament Square in November.

They may have silenced us today, but we will not keep quiet.
