Last night we left flowers and candles in a vigil for Sarah Montgomery on the Guildhall steps. There have been 27 recorded femicides in NI since 2020. The most dangerous place for women is in the home and the most dangerous predator of women are white men, not migrants.

A shot across the bow for @SDLPlive @SDLPyouth members from @AlbanMaginness who says they don't "value life" - this is why the SDLP must be brave and change their party stance to a pro-choice pro-decrim position.

Rambling nonsense from @AlbanMaginness on @bbcradioulster. Yawn!

Criminalisation means that the police investigate your private life, your medical history and you are liable to go to prison. @AlbanMaginness whipping up moral panic live on @bbcradioulster.

Just say it @AlbanMaginness - you want to punish women for exercising their right to do what ever they want with their own bodies. @bbcradioulster

Listening to old man @AlbanMaginness on @bbcradioulster trying every trick in the book to evade saying that he wants to punish and lock women up for having an abortion. Decriminalisation really reveals the misogyny!!!

We had been under the impression that @SorchaEastwood had also voted in support of NC1 but she did not attend the vote in Westminster last night. We are also hearing Sorcha removed her name from support of NC1 before the vote. @allianceparty can you please clarify?

Credit where credit is due, we would like to thank @ClaireHanna and @columeastwood for voting to support the decriminalisation of abortion for people who can get pregnant in England and Wales. We are always available to chat about changing @SDLPlive party stance on this issue!

NI had decrim & a right to abortion when I need an abortion in 22. Services were stalled & weaponised & left me vulnerable. Voting for @stellacreasy NC20 is only way to protect women in E&W from suffering what happened to me. @ClaireHanna @columeastwood @SorchaEastwood

Feel free to use our letter to lobby your MP. This is written from a NI context but can be easily edited.

We urge all MP's to fully repeal Sections 58 and 59 of the Offences Against the Person Act in Westminster this Tuesday. Please reach out to your MP and ask them to do the same. @ClaireHanna @columeastwood @SorchaEastwood @RobinSwann_MP alex.easton.mp@parliament.uk

This week we attended an APPG for SRH in Westminster to show gratitude to the doctors providing abortion care in the north and to implore MP's to support aid into Gaza and to stop Israel's genocide. Initially refused entry-we made our voices heard. More: allianceforchoiceni.org/activism/atten…

All trans and non-binary people are invited to a Community Check-In at @ccadld on 20th May at 6pm. Grab a cuppa, bring a craft or just sit in good company ❤️🏳️‍⚧️

We had a wonderful evening at the Culture Date with Dublin 8 "Liberation at the Back Lane Parliament" event. Caelainn Hogan generously asked us to provide some collages documenting the history of Alliance for Choice Derry and our Maeve helped put together 12 panels of images!

We would like to ask any cisgender or transgender women that identify as feminist activists in Northern Ireland over the age of 18 to consider participating in the following @UlsterUni MA research project. For more information please contact: Amy Adams on merron-a@ulster.ac.uk.

Our friends at Protective Mothers NI are having a protest with the aim of stopping family court injustices on Thursday 8 May at the Royal Courts of Justice in Belfast. Masks provided for anyone who doesn't want to be identified. Contact protectivemothers.ni on IG for info!
