One Woman, One Body One Love One Song It's no secret feel of voice, sistas united, Let's rejoice I was also a steward and on the organising committee of the MWR March against violence on IWD.I helped organise the fundraisers for MWR and the Day of Action the 1st March and the steward training on that day.I also approached many trade unions who gave substantial financial and inkind support for the MWR March . I was surprised when I along with other stewards brought the march to Trafalga Square and then saw the violence that occurred between two women. I blame a few women on the MWR committee for hijacking the MWR March and causing this violence. They rose that day to silence women from speaking or having their views represented . By not allowing longstanding trade unionist Teresa MacKay to speak they enabled the confusion litteAngel spoke of and disunited to fester. This was no doubt a risk to health and safety on an otherwise peaceful women only protest. Their claim that Teresa never submitted her speech is a outright lie as I have email proof that Teresa email her speech to for interpretation and that she was an agreed speaker at the rally. Furthermore, if you look at the speakers list on the Millionwomenrise.com website you will still see Teresa is up as a speaker at the MWR rally! Once agreed as a speaker Teresa had no obligation whatsoever to have her speech vetted for palitability by this clique. It is they who I blame for the violence. I also arranged for International Federation of Women's Institutes to speak and Jean Binta Breeze to grace the stage (Jean was unable to submit her speech prior to the rally!) @at Little Angel why the abivilance towards sex workers right to speak...Like you say you work security if like you claim you were spat at at a night club does that mean you don't work at night clubs anymore? @ those all to ready to blame the ECP for the violence presumably for not just shutting up when they are told to by the professional feminists. Why not listen to people you disagree with? I do. Why do you give your passive support to censorship? Julie Bindel was also down to speak, I disagree with her take on most things, however, I supported her invite as a speaker. @the mantra's . I feel saddened that I spent the best part of 6 months working on the MWR march only so a fringe could hijack the spirit of the march. Whilst devising these mantra's and mouthing the words they really have no clue how to implement them. This was the MWR mantra’s chant divised on the MWR Day of Action 1st March.

One Woman, One Body One Love One Song

It’s no secret feel of voice,
sistas united,
Let’s rejoice

It was only a matter of time before feelings of white supremacy kicked in, I think its hard wired among most white folk.
