It’s been a busy week or so. Last Monday I represented #Emilymatters and gave the first performance of the new Emily Davison speech from To Freedom’s Cause at the inaugural meeting of the York branch of the Women’s Equality Party.

I would like to thank Carmel, Pen, Katie, Cathy, Sarah, Helen and everyone at WEP York for the warm welcome. It was great to be in at the start of this exciting new chapter for equality in Yorkshire and the UK!
To quote Emily Davison herself: Yours in the Cause, NO SURRENDER!
