Our work is always informed by the views/experiences of survivors, family members & adopted people. We’re the experts because they have trusted us & guided us for decades. 10/
Moreover, the work of the @clann_project is carried out under strict ethical protocols which stipulate confidentiality & informed consent: clannproject.org/wp-content/upl… 11/
@clann_project Most importantly, @barrymward, by insinuating a misinformation campaign you also insult the intelligence of every survivor, adopted person, natural mother or family member who has emailed you about this Bill. 12/
@clann_project @barrymward By accusing us of spreading misinformation you presume that stakeholders are incapable of analysing the materials themselves, that people who have been subjected to human rights violations are somehow incapable of making up our own minds. 13/
@clann_project @barrymward Yes, I’m sure most people contacted TDs with ‘exactly the same’ email. We opted for an email campaign rather than a petition, as it ensures emails go directly to politicians & because it gives people the opportunity to personalise it if they wish. 14/
@clann_project @barrymward The way it works is people can click the link and it automatically generates an email for them to sign & personalise if they wish (inspired by the work of @contact_ie) 15/
@clann_project @barrymward @contact_ie This type of campaign is ideal because adopted people/survivors often feel disempowered & unable to articulate their experiences. 16/
@clann_project @barrymward @contact_ie If you’ve been subjected to human rights violations it isn’t easy to speak out, so a pre-filled email is a big help. 17/
