One fist in the air, the other balled round the top of a banner, I’m marching across London’s Westminster Bridge into a line of cops.
It’s my first action with Sisters Uncut. Over a hundred members of Sisters Uncut have broken away from the larger June 20 anti-austerity march to shut down Westminster Bridge. We were at the march to draw attention to the lethal impact of cuts to domestic violence services. Looking to my left and my right I see my sisters, women and non-binary people in Sisters Uncut: the direct action group fighting cuts to domestic violence services. Their fists are raised too, their eyes focused on the police.
