CAN YOU HEAR US NOW? is a rally and march protesting systemic abuses of women and children, featuring a minute’s silence to honour victims and a collective primal scream to give them a voice impossible to silence which demands accountability; safeguarding; transparency; and ending abuses against women and children.
Bring friends, colleagues, family, banners, uniforms, lights, placards, instruments, and your voices!
Please share!
Tag women and groups in the comments to invite them to join.
Look out for upcoming posts with March route, rally speakers, and community supporters ✊

#risograph invite by @georgegracegibson 🐰

Very pleased to announce that @teamtridentpress has published a new poetry pamphlet @boundartbookfair this October. To mark the occasion author Hamish Rush will perform a reading of its entirety @ad_england on Wednesday.
Please come down to experience @hamish.rushh , he is a tender tour de force and absolute brilliant actor. Arrive for 7.30pm to grab a drink. The reading will start at 8pm and take about 10 minutes. Part of the launch event is an art installation of Hamish's photography - also featured in tramsient.
Afterwards join us in celebratory togetherness and share a tram story or two of your own with the person next to you.
tramsient is available from Wednesday night at Impiety Hour Manchester and @good_press in Glasgow as well as via the TTP web shop.
Let me know if you are keen to stock this new TTP title. I am happy to send a few copies over to your book and magazine stores.
Printed in risograph inks throughout on @gfsmithpapers . Hamish Rush is also published by @pariah_press with his debut monograph Scale Heavenly. Artwork drapings printed by @contradouk
My @2020printexchange submission this year is a cardboard collograph etching. I was thinking of processes one can do with limited resources and scraps.

Second edition of the Carlton Street Catalogue is out. Brain child of @helencmather and myself from a couple of years back. We posted leaflets to fill out through our neighbours' letterboxes and had a very vibrant and cute turnout. Let me know if you want the template to duplicate this idea for your own street.
Grab a free copy from Shen @passionfruitmcr on Ayers Road or DM to arrange to pick up/get it posted to you.
