To every person who shared their story to #repealthe8th,
THANK YOU
Reading them now&thinking of how brave it was to do this just 1year ago, brings tears to my eyes.
Your bravery #repealedThe8th
The Everyday Stories exhibition is on display today in @PantiBliss on Capel Street.
The people (who told their stories of how the 8th amendment affected them) won Repeal.
"Fuck off" to anyone else that "claims" the victory
You didn't do it
One year on and all we have for every single person who told their story, to get Ireland to this place... in world history...is still complete and utter admiration.
#repealedthe8th
You told your story to us.
You trusted us to tell it to others via art installations, written text and audio recordings.
You went on local, regional, national and international media to share your stories.
You did so selflessly so that others won't have to tell similar stories.
I just found these draft mission statements that we wrote in March17 when we were setting up @es_irl
#Normalise #Destigmatise #Legalise
THANK YOU to anyone who has helped turn those draft mission statements into a reality ❤❤❤

The Govt. wil not be delivering the pro-choice legislation we all went #HomeToVote for unless YOU start making noise right now!
Please email your TD NOW and tell them you want the points below incorporated into the legislation!
All TD emails in this thread- No excuses! #Legisl8
#Legisl8 Email your TDs now:
From @Lawyers4Choice
1⃣Doctors don't reccomend waiting periods
2⃣Legislation shouldn't criminalises doctors
3⃣The use of the word 'serious' makes the legislation too vague and will restrict access.
4⃣Trans-inclusive langauge is reccomended
It's not too late to contact your TDs and make sure this Bill is done right!

Earlier this week I meet with 2 survivors of Mesh and heard their stories. They were heart breaking. And outrageous.
Next Weds Nov 28 , 12pm there is a protest at Leinster House to draw attention to this absolute scandal.
We support this protest and all in @meshsurvivorire
The CMO report was released today confirming high complication rates, with Simon Harris praising women for sharing their private stories.
Many women need to travel to the UK to have the Mesh removed with surgery costing ~£10k. #meshscandal #mesh
Thank you to the amazing artists who volunteered their work to us!
(I'm planning a way of saying thank you to you all too!)
But mainly, THANK YOU to everyone who #repealedthe8th in any way.
I'm getting ready now to march at the #ARCMarch18 to ensure the government legislates properly and that no one gets left behind.
Hope to see many of you there!

Preparing for our last exhibition at Pantibar tomorrow(Saturday 29th) to coincide with @freesafelegal #ARCMarch18
To the people who told their stories of how the Eighth Amendment affected you,
THANK YOU!
You selflessly told your stories so that others won't have to.
Each and every story opened up a dialogue on a sensitive and personal issue.
Each and every story made an impact.
Each and every story won the referendum for us all.
The people of Ireland are forever indebted to you
