It is just over a year since that first WPUK meeting in Cambridge. We have had a year of threats, abuse, harassment, iles and slurs. We are not alone in this. Women all over the country have been threatened, attacked & shut down. And too many people have stood by & let it happen.
Well, we have held 18 meetings this year. We have another on in Reading on 4th December. We are planning more meetings for 2019. We will not be bullied. We will not be silenced. It's time to stand with us.
