A beautiful and uplifting day. First ? with the fine folks at the #piliontrust. Made new friends and caught up with old pals along the sun dappled way. Thought of Emily, Mary, Connie, Sophia and Lavena. They would have loved the day and would call on all involved to redouble our efforts to make the world a more equal, just and safer place for women and girls. The #Emilymatters project is rooted in the contemporary, intertwining the past and the present, whilst championing #equality and #votingmatters in the UK and beyond. It\u2019s about bringing people together, because we are all part of the progressive narrative, passing the baton from one generation to the next.
