Feeling as though the people with the power to make a difference don't understand what life is really like for trans people? Let's make sure they understand that all we want is to be safe, welcome and included - like everyone else. Email your MP today: scottishtrans.org/emailfortransinclusion
Graphic with a purple background. On the left side there are blue textboxes with black text which say "Email the Minister for Equalities and your MP" "scottishtrans.org/emailfortransinclusion". On the right is an illustration of a placard that says "Trans People Belong" with a trans symbol.

It’s so important that our representatives hear direct from trans and non-binary people about how we’re feeling about the UK Supreme Court ruling. If you live in Scotland you can use our quick email tool to have your voice heard - at Holyrood and at Westminster: www.scottishtrans.org/supreme-cour...

Purple fist at the top
1PM SAT 19TH APRIL FOOT OF THE MOUND WE REFUSE TO BE ERASEDMap of a street with the royal Scottish academy in the center. Text saying
We will gather at 1pm and march to the UK Government building
Access: The Mound area is flat and paved and

all roads used for the march are paved. The route for the march is planned to avoid big hills but there will be some inclines, and some uneven pavements.

Welfare: There will be a welfare team

identifiable by signs who can provide masks, snacks, water, first aid, sensory aids such as earplugs, mental health first aid and signpost you to support if needed.

Marching: There will be a slower paced quiet bloc for those who prefer to be slightly distanced from shouting and chanting.

Sound: There may be a PA system and drumming, our welfare team will have earplugs available and some ear defenders.

Masks: We encourage everyone to mask if able. Masks are provided by Edinburgh Mask Bloc.
