I’m out of here (not completely as there are still some people/institutions here that I care about). Maybe we can all leave Elon & co’ hate/disinfo party and go somewhere else…?

For the love of all that is holy, do not give your money to Planned Parenthood today. Give your money to @AbortionCare or @apiaryps or your local abortion fund. And if you live in Europe, don't think for a minute that access to abortion is only an issue in America.

100 pro women footballers call on FIFA to drop Saudi Aramco as a sponsor. It is perverse that the 2027 Women's World Cup will be sponsored by a Saudi state company when women like Salma al Shehab remain in prison. Not to mention FIFA's climate pledges bbc.co.uk/sport/football…

“My eye is gone. I cannot change that. But the way these weapons are used? That can be changed.” Leidy isn’t letting the story end here. Neither should we. #ProtectTheProtest and sign here for a Torture-Free Trade Treaty: amn.st/6013qwaSN

A #TortureFreeTrade (TFT) treaty could advance greatly in the protection of human rights and prevention of torture in the context of peaceful protests. Thanks to the delegates of #Mexico and #Colombia for accepting the invitation to talk about this possibility.

#UN SR Gina Romero shared her reflections on why working towards #TortureFreeTrade (TFT) Treaty is a priority under her mandate to help protect protestors with delegates from #Mexico and #Colombia. The 80+ orgs in the TFT Network stand ready to assist States in this vital work."

Great piece of my colleague and friend @AnnaMBlus @amnesty about access to abortion in #Poland a year after Tusk was elected Prime Minister… spoiler alert: promises are still only promises

Before his election, Polish Prime Minister @donaldtusk promised women and girls that wrongs like the #abortion ban will be righted. One year later, why has nothing happened? READ @amnesty's @annamblus for @euobs 👇euobserver.com/eu-political/a…

Hi @ffbasketball @amnesty and @BballpourToutes remade your video "Notre victoire ce sont nos différences" to show what real inclusion looks like in sport. Spoiler alert: it shouldn’t exclude women who wear a hijab.

Let's talk about the environmental impact of generative AI. Asking an AI chat bot requires 10 times more electricity than a standard Google search. Is it worth it?

Parliamentarians around the world must act to keep meaningful human control over the use of force. Email your MP now asking them to sign the pledge to Stop Killer Robots. Template letter here: tinyurl.com/27svr7a9

Killer Robots in war would reduce people to data points. If killer robots end up in the hands of the police, the result could be catastrophic.

Humans are giving machines control over the use of force. The consequences for humanity would be devastating. Join Amnesty International and @BanKillerRobots, take action calling on your parliamentarians to #StopKillerRobots #TeamHuman #KeepCtrl

In the UK, racist violence and Islamophobia have spilled onto the streets, following intense and continued scapegoating and dehumanisation of refugees and migrants. Have you noticed your feed becoming more violent and shocking? You’re not alone. But can you guess why? 👇🏽…

Ehm, the fact that the secret flame bearer is wearing a veil while #France has banned sports hijabs is just... very French #Paris2024 #Olympics


Leo Rebassa (she/her) Reposted

If you're protesting this weekend, it's vital you know your rights Save these bust cards, share with others, write phone numbers on your arm, look for legal observers if you need assistance and remember to say "no comment" without a lawyer Keep yourselves and each other safe

Diaba Konate has criticised the 'heartbreaking' ban on athletes wearing a hijab at the Olympics. #BBCOlympics #Paris2024


Leo Rebassa (she/her) Reposted

Admist the chaos and drama of news, I'm proud to be the first hijab-wearing woman on an official Olympic broadcast in Canada. I am acutely aware that my sisters in France do not have access to sport in the very same country I'm covering. I intend to amplify those stories i'A.
