NUBSLI

Today is Coops Day! Inequality and exclusion fuel conflict. Cooperatives tackle both by sharing ownership, creating livelihoods, and strengthening local institutions. We celebrate cooperatives as ‘local infrastructure for peace’. @ICAcoop #Coops4Peace #StrongerTogether

A reminder that our new online shop has Free Shipping today until Sunday. All profits from merchandise sales go into our Hardship Fund. Show NUBSLI your support here: nubsli.com/shop/ #StrongerTogether

To support our Hardship Fund, we have a NUBSLI shop where you can order your NUBSLI merchandise! We've had feedback from conference attendees and added more items. bit.ly/4vacBSX From Friday 3rd until Sunday 5th July, there is Free Shipping! #StrongerTogether

Have you seen we have a new post in The Nub - 'Beyond Reasonable Adjustments: The Equality Act’s Hidden Gem for Freelancers'? bit.ly/44CmQV7 Just right for a read over a brew! #StrongerTogether

If you weren't at the conference, you will have missed the launch of our Hardship Fund, the launch of our merchandise store (all profits go to the Hardship Fund) and the first Wes Mehaffy Award for Outstanding Contribution to NUBSLI going to Wes Mehaffy himself. #StrongerTogether

A massive THANK YOU to our presenters, interpreters, members, non-members, volunteers, committee and Unite team for enabling our first ever NUBSLI conference to be such a success on Saturday! We could not have done it without you. Here's to the next one! #StrongerTogether

57 years ago, an uprising took place at New York City’s Stonewall Inn, with LGBT+ people, long frustrated by police brutality, finally fighting back. This day is a reminder of the power of standing together against those who seek to divide us. #PrideIsaProtest #StrongerTogether

We are gutted that the Deaf Anarchists were not able to attend today due to logistic and health reasons but look forward to working with them in the future, and thank them for their video messages! #StrongerTogether

Massive thanks to Paula Peters from DPAC for presenting today and for her encouragement to activism! #StrongerTogether

A member of our Fees Action Group has presented about making our profession sustainable though sustainable fees, using 'stair cases not cliff faces' as an analogy of steady fee change, not everything all at once. #StrongerTogether

Very interesting session with VRS interpreters from the USA discussing significant issues with remote interpreting and degradation of interpreter rights and services for deaf people. #StrongerTogether

We are delighted to welcome John McDonnell MP to present today, speaking on the role of politicians and parliament in the work of BSL interpreters and translators. #StrongerTogether

The conference is underway - thank you to all those who managed to beat the heat and train disruption to join us! #StrongerTogether

Our first ever NUBSLI Conference is tomorrow! Thank you to everyone who is coming - our members, non-members, presenters, interpreters, volunteers, committee and support from Unite. We look forward to seeing you there. #StrongerTogether

A very Happy Birthday to NUBSLI! Thank you so much to all our members, volunteers and committee members who have supported our union for the last 12 years. #StrongerTogether

A reminder of the first ever NUBSLI conference this Saturday in London! There are still some tickets available if you're undecided. 6 CPD points, air conditioning, friendly faces and a free lunch - what's not to love! More details here: bit.ly/4fGA9e1 #StrongerTogether

This week is Deafblind Awareness Week - deafblindness impacts over 450,000 people in the UK, and affects each person differently. The week raises awareness and understanding of deafblindness. bit.ly/3A8wkqA #StrongerTogether

A reminder that NUBSLI will be launching a Hardship Fund for members - this is in addition to member benefits available through Unite. All details will be announced at our conference so watch this space! #StrongerTogether
