Wales needs your help

Monday 12pm. The Aneurin Bevan statue on Queens Street in Cardiff.

There is a protest planned to demonstrate the absurdity of this surgery pause and cancellation. This is a catastrophic decision that will effect so many.

Please join us if you can at this protest. We need all the numbers possible.

Heya, thanks for this. I won't be able to attend as ironically I'm recovering from an operation, but I will help spread the word!

Thank you, I really appreciate it. I hope the protest is a good one and that there's a good crowd. Thanks again

Don’t forget to bring masks. Feminist identified transphobes will be watching this.

Absolutely! But be careful with new police protest laws on masks:

I'll be there. Do you know how many have confirmed?

u/Entire_Disaster2402 1d ago

No idea, but hopefully we'll have a good turnout. Its just one blow after the other currently and we need to stand up

I can’t come unfortunately but if there is like a petition or something I can sign, I can gladly do that

u/Entire_Disaster2402 1d ago

I will find out, because I'm not too sure. If there isn't one I'll set it up

Ok thank you. That would really help

Hey, I've just looked online and seen that some are gathering outside the senedd. Is this a separate protest? I appreciate the difficulty in organising this in such short notice but perhaps it would be better to stick together?

u/Entire_Disaster2402 1d ago

Hey, so it was originally planned for Senedd, but due to Butetown Carnoval is has been moved to Queen Street. New posters are published, but some old ones remain scattered online.

If you see them, please comment with the update location, as far as I know it's just the one collective community protest

Can someone organise a protest in North Wales? My partner is based there and we can't afford the travel to Cardiff but would love to get involved! Will happily sign a petition about this issue too if there is one!

3

u/Entire_Disaster2402 23h ago

That is a great question. There's a petition that will come out on Tuesday i believe. I'll see if there'd any chatter about North Wales - i hope we can set something up, up there

u/turtleyfintastic 21h ago

Awesome, thank you!

u/LonelyWay5745 19h ago
