SUMMARY:International Women's Day #AccelerateAction
DESCRIPTION:IWD 2025 campaign theme is ‘Accelerate Action’\nCollectively\, we can Accelerate Action for gender equality. \nStep forward in solidarity for International Women’s Day (IWD) 2025 on March 8 to help #AccelerateAction. \nAt the current rate of progress\, it will take until 2158\, which is roughly five generations from now\, to reach full gender parity\, according to data from the World Economic Forum. \nFocusing on the need to Accelerate Action emphasizes the importance of taking swift and decisive steps to achieve gender equality. It calls for increased momentum and urgency in addressing the systemic barriers and biases that women face\, both in personal and professional spheres. \nSo\, together\, let’s Accelerate Action to speed up the rate of progress worldwide.

SUMMARY:HeartUnions week 2025
DESCRIPTION:HeartUnions week is 10-16 February 2025. A chance to tell the story about why unions are vital for everyone at work\, and encourage them to join a union.\n\n\nUnions make work pay\nWorking people need change. Unions have been campaigning for years to push the government to deliver higher pay and stronger workers’ rights. And we’re closer than ever to delivering transformative change for working people. \nThe Government’s plan to Make Work Pay is making its way through parliament and could become law later this year. This plan was developed with unions and would be the biggest upgrade of workers’ rights in a generation. \nThis shows the difference that unions make\, delivering higher pay and stronger workers’ rights in Westminster. And unions are making work pay up and down the country too – union members earn tens of thousands more than non-union members over their working lives. Union members have won significant pay rises in both the public and private sectors in recent years. So if you want to make work pay\, it’s time to join a union. \nWhat’s HeartUnions about?\nHeartUnions is a campaign week of activity where the trade union movement celebrates unions and the good that we do. \nDuring the week we want to do two simple things: \n1. demonstrate how brilliant unions are by showcasing all that we achieve for working people. \n2. encourage as many people as possible who are already union members to ask someone they know to join one too. \nSo\, during the run up to HeartUnions week – and during the week itself – we’ll be sharing stories that show unions’ impact and providing reps and members with resources to help them get more people to join a union. \nFind out how you can take part in HeartUnions week \nContact us\nFor more information about HeartUnions please email cmcgurran@tuc.org.uk.

SUMMARY:Councillors' coffee time - online
DESCRIPTION:Out with the old boys’ networks\, we’re here to build new support for women in local politics.\nFor women to be able to participate\, progress and stay in local politics\, we need new forms of networks and support that work for us. By bringing women in councils across Britain and varying levels of experience together\, we hope to spark skill-sharing\, strength and encouragement. \nWe are inviting all women serving as councillors to switch off from regular work for an hour and come together with women across the political parties to share challenges\, experiences\, resources and advice\, so you can feel supported as you participate in local politics. \nFormer councillor Hannah O’Neill will provide light facilitation of the session\, which otherwise will remain an open and informal discussion\, so you can bring whatever is on your mind to the session. \nWe’ll be hosting this gathering twice on Monday 9th September\, at 1-2pm and 7-8pm so you can choose a time that best matches your schedule. \nAll women who register to join our community as a councillor will be sent an invitation for all of the gathering dates and times\, as well as regular words of encouragement to keep you going! \nAll women are welcome to register for these sessions. Non-binary people whose experiences or identities intersect with women’s and therefore feel they would benefit from accessing a women-centred space are welcome to join us.
