    The Dear Liz Campaign

    Trans people are worried, and just as I have launched a website other people are doing “their bit” as well. 

    One great idea is the Dear Liz letter-writing campaign with the aim to flood Liz Truss with hard copy letters of complaint. The simple fact is that trans people are (rightly) frightened and this message must be broadcast to the country by every method possible. 

    Given COVID-19 restrictions trans people can’t organise a march or even meet in a group…options are indeed limited. 

    But the ‘Dear Liz Campaign’ is one positive (and physical way) of making the trans voice heard and obviously I will be writing my letters as well.
