Happy #InternationalWomensDay! 🎉 This year’s theme, #AccelerateAction, highlights the power of women using #CommunityOrganising to drive change. From saving local spaces to fighting for safer parks & housing, women aren’t just advocating for change - they’re making it happen.

This #IWD2025, we celebrate the thousands of women using community organising to lead change, challenge injustice, and build a fairer world. Happy International Women’s Day!
