If you’re in the UK, get in touch with Baroness Nicholson. She’s in the early stages of setting up (not sure how settled the name is) the Campaign for Restoring the Rights of Woman, which so far is just letter writing but might come to more. There are also several groups like Fair Play who’re working on various campaigns.

In the US, there’s an org whose name escapes me (something like Rights4Women? Their logo is a fist maybe with a star?) that’s campaigning about the changes to the US Equality Act. Sorry for vague info, searching is giving me lots of results for the UK EA. If I find it, I’ll edit with a link.

Edit: got the name entirely wrong, it’s Feminists In Struggle (FIST): https://feministstruggle.org/2020/05/07/fist-launches-endorsement-drive-for-feminist-amendments-to-the-equality-act/

Thank you that's great stuff to know about but I think the problem with campaigning is that no one is listening so I think legal challenges and actions need to be the way forward

WoLF does legal briefs in the US. In addition there are a number of lawsuits underway and you can donate to some of them. I'm not sure about Meghan Murphy - I think she's appealing. There's Mya Forstater. There's the detransitioner suing the Tavistock. I'm not sure who else. (I have a case but am not looking for donations rn.) Donations matter but demonstrations outside the court can help too.

The pandemic is messing up legal stuff, with courts suspending some things, so that complicates it.

WoLF: https://womensliberationfront.org/

Meghan Murphy: https://www.meghanmurphylawsuit.com/ - she said she was filing an appeal but I don't see any info about that on that site.

Mya Forstater: https://www.crowdjustice.com/case/lost-job-speaking-out/

The Tavistock lawsuit: https://www.crowdjustice.com/case/protect-children/

My own case is supposed to go to case management because I'm self-represented, but we don't have a date for the next meeting (thanks, covid-19 lockdowns!). I will post on it wherever radfems are allowed to post when I have a trial date, with info for intervenors etc. if I have it.
