Trans Solidarity Forever.
Oxford Mutual Aid is appalled at the process and verdict of the UK Supreme Court regarding trans women, and at the politicians and groups who are using the decision to justify hatred and violence against trans people.
To our trans community members, we see you and stand with you. Celebrating and affirming LGBTQ+ identities is central to who we are. Trans and queer organisers were integral to the founding of OMA and we could not do what we do today without their active, ongoing love and labour, standing in solidarity and organising, packing, and delivering our food parcels.
Cisgender folks, if you value Oxford Mutual Aid – then value trans lives and identities.
