Thread: Thank you @LabWomenDec for your solidarity with our co-founder @kiritunks who was 'un-invited' from speaking on Challenging Sexism by a @UKLabour branch. Thank you for saying #IStandWithKiri

Kiri is a relentless campaigner for working people with a particular commitment to fighting for equality for all; challenging discrimination and injustice by representing members individually; by working to win policies to improve the collective well-being of education staff;
by bringing issues of international solidarity to the attention of everyone in the labour movement; challenging unequal structures and oppressive cultures within workplaces, the union movement and beyond.
The basis on which she has been disinvited is entirely false. The labour movement needs to take a good look at itself and think about what it wants to be.
The left should be the champion of freedom of speech, intellectual inquiry, association and discussion. It is a serious misstep for the left to cede this ground to the right. Thank you to @LabWomenDec, and all who say #IStandWithKiri, for your solidarity.
