Women's Banner Group

@BannerWomen outside the County!

Good luck to all members taking strike action today at Dame Allan’s Schools defending their pensions. Shocking to hear the school are using outside organisations to replace teaching staff. Instead of undermining them, make them a better offer! chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-eas…

It’s hard to see just why this report is nearly 7 months late. There are simply no answers to some of the key questions which people on Teesside deserve What this report does show however, are serious failings in transparency and accountability and value for money for people of the Tees Valley and it is absolutely vital that Lord Houchen adopt what recommendations are made by the report (🧵1/2)

@TheMatchgirls @NeilJamesonUK So sorry to hear this. Thoughts with all of Neil's friends and family.

With great sadness we share the news that our highly respected Trustee, @NeilJamesonUK, has died. He was an ardent supporter of our campaigns and we will miss his insights and wealth of experience. Heartfelt condolences to his wife Jean & his family at this sad time. RIP Neil

Fruit and vegetable farms in Spain are routinely breaking eight out of nine basic workers’ rights. Abuses include refusal of legal wages, forced labour, sexual assault and intimidation. That's what @j_minnow from @EC_magazine tells us. #IMA #Indymedia theprisma.co.uk/2023/04/17/mig…

This IWD with some of the most incredible local activists and musicians!

We have lost over 700 followers today. Clearly something is going on with Twitter. And at a time when our postal and telecom workers need support like never before. Please RT this, follow us and help get the message out there. #StandByYourPost

We should never apologise for thinking that as working class people we should have everything: holidays, beautiful food, plentiful resources, lush homes, comfort, peace, exciting experiences, superb education, fantastic transport. We should accept nothing less.

We are excited to announce our next event 'Supper with our Syrian Sisters' on Sat 12 Nov at Bullion Hall Community Centre in Chester le Street. It promises to be a wonderful afternoon of culture and company. Tickets cost £10 each (£5 kids) to book email wbgsecretary@gmail.com

You can pick up Gem Trail maps from Shildon Library and @LocomotionSHD, please go and experience it for yourself ❤️

We are absolutely blown away that the artists used our banner in this work, to be depicted alongside Jane Hackworth and the Aycliffe Angels on the route is a real honour.

Once again our beautiful Women’s Banner has inspired artists and been used to help tell the tale of the unwritten history of the Women of the Durham Coalfield.
