I've pledged to support the ECT's campaign to end conversion practices in Scotland if elected to the Scottish Parliament on May 7th. • To support a comprehensive and trans-inclusive ban on conversion practices without exceptions or exemptions • To defend an inclusive society where every LGBTQ+ person is free to live as who they are at home, at work, and in our community • To oppose institutionalised conversion practices through the denial of healthcare to trans people

Conversion practices have no place in Scotland. If re-elected I pledge to do all I can to ensure they are ended here for good.

Fair. My apologies!

UCU President, Maria Chondrogianni, speaking about the crisis in university governance at STUC in the Caird Hall.

Fine words from @ucu.org.uk President, Maria Chondrogianni, speaking about the crisis in university governance.

She’s spot on: the crisis at @dundee.ac.uk is a governance crisis. Staff (&students) should NOT pay the price. Job cuts are not the answer!

A picture of the sea cliffs through a train window. There are raindrops on the glass. The sun is trying to poke through a very wet and grey sky.

A brighter day with high, windswept clouds, over the sea and sea cliffs.

I’ll never tire of this train journey … the light is always different, the sea’s character changing, but the cliffs & stacks remain constant.

It’s a bit dreich out there today (unlike Friday morning), but I’m off to Dundee for @scottishtuc.bsky.social Congress - workers united, demanding better!

This is what hope looks like! I was honoured to be asked to speak at today's Unity march and rally in Aberdeen. This is, more or less, what I said at Union Terrace Gardens in front of the beautiful crowd of over 300 people.

Read what I said at the rally here: open.substack.com/pub/maggiech...

In Aberdeen, we stand together.
In Aberdeen, we reject racism.
In Aberdeen, we say clearly and proudly – refugees are welcome here.

And we will not be divided.

Great atmosphere at the Unity march and rally in Aberdeen today. Thanks to all who joined in ✊

We must not give in to fear. We can create a world of compassion, friendship and hope. We will build this better world Together Let's demand better On May 7th vote Scottish Greens
