Helen Pankhurst closing the London Stock Exchange
A powerful moment at @lseplc.bsky.social as yesterday we closed the market to mark 97 years since the Equal Franchise Act.
With politicians, business leaders & allies, we celebrated progress & looked ahead to the centenary.
This is #Mission2028 — the road to a gender-equal Parliament.
Our #Mission2028 campaign calls for urgent action to achieve a #GenderEqualParliament by 2028—the centenary of equal suffrage. While progress has been made, it’s still too slow. Women make up 51% of the population, yet remain underrepresented in Parliament. It’s time for change.🧵4/4

The person who becomes the MLK of the #Mission2028 movement becomes the de facto leader of the left for the best term future.
Are the liberal policy wonks coming up with the #Mission2028 Policy Book for when we get back the Exec. branch? This needs to be a real thing. Focus on bolstering our democratic processes by designing legislative gates to prevent the current hellscape from happening ever again.
Centenary Action and Mission 2028 logos. We are calling for: Enactment of section 106 of the Equality Act, Modernisation of Parliamentary HR systems, A Modernisation Committee which operates with a gendered perspective, Implementation of the Jo Cox Civility Commission recommendations, A funding scheme for Disabled candidate, Political parties to develop action plans for achieving equal representation, Policy to be informed by diverse women's experiences
Join us in celebrating the progress made and demanding full representation for women. Our #Mission2028 campaign outlines the steps needed to achieve equal representation. Read more bit.ly/3WNXkJ33/3 3/3
Last week, I attended the Centenary Action Group drop-in, where they launched their campaign to achieve a gender-equal Parliament by 2028!
I highly encourage women from all walks of life to stand up and get involved, we need you! 🗳️ #Mission2028
Fantastic to speak alongside amazing women from across parties at the @centenaryaction.bsky.social event!
With women making up 40% of MPs, progress has been made—but we need full gender equality in Parliament by 2028. Let’s deliver on #Mission2028! 💪
My MP ❤️
‘Bonkers to think I’m the 462nd woman ever to be elected to Parliament. I’m ready to pave the way for more! Campaigning to address and dismantle the barriers that hinder women’s participation in politics.’

Turns out I am the 682nd woman to have been elected to UK Parliament.
I fully support @CentenaryAction's work to achieve a #GenderEqualParliament by 2028.
Let's do it! #Mission2028
Joy and inspiration at Centenary Action's #Mission2028 campaign launch in Parliament.
We celebrated the 40% of MPs who are women with outstanding speeches. But we'll need the largest-ever proportional increase in women to achieve a 50:50 Parliament by 2028 - the centenary of equal franchise

Strange to think that I am the 642nd woman to have been elected to @ukparliament.parliament.uk
#CentenaryAction are campaigning for a #GenderEqualParliament
Let's make it happen! #Mission2028

Today I attended a great event from Centenary Action sharing their plans to achieve a gender equal parliament by 2028.
Sometimes it’s our male allies that help us to succeed so as the 571st woman EVER elected - thank you Bob for getting my journey started. #Mission2028
Excited to join the parliamentary launch of @CentenaryAction’s #Mission2028 campaign.
Women make up 51% of the population, but only 40% of MPs. Equal representation is within reach, but it requires concerted efforts from political parties, parliament, and government.
#GenderEqualParliament
Thank you @centenaryaction.bsky.social @helenpankhurst.bsky.social @elliechowns.bsky.social and all the speakers for todays event.
To quote Ellie “50:50 should not be a stretch target” #Mission2028

It was brilliant to join the parliamentary launch of Centenary Action’s #Mission2028 campaign and hear from new women MPs from across the House of Commons supporting the push for a #GenderEqualParliament by 2028—which will require the largest-ever proportional increase of women MPs.
Excited to be in a sunny Westminster for parliamentary launch of @centenaryaction #Mission2028 campaign for a #GenderEqualParliament by 2028.
On my way to the Parliamentary launch of the Centenary Action Group’s #mission2028 campaign. Our new research reveals a historic challenge: to achieve a #GenderEqualParliament by the centenary of equal suffrage in 2028, the largest ever proportional increase in women MPs is needed.

Se estivessem vivos, Lincoln, Eisenhower, Nixon, Reagan e Bush Sr. estariam bastante tristes de como o Partido Republicano se transformou depois que GWB deixou o poder.
Eles jamais apoiariam o MAGA de Trump
