Protests and Suffragettes were one of 15 organisations providing fun, engaging and unique activities for over 3000 Girl Guides, Brownies & Rainbows. P&S HQ took over Glasgow City Chambers for the day, where the P&S Team facilitated activities like:

🎨 Mindful Colouring Pages w/ our Suffragettes in STEM (Isabella Elder, Chrystal Macmillan, Dr. Flora Murray & Dr Elsie Inglis.)
✂️ Badgemaking w/ powerful & feminist slogans, and original WSPU & Women’s Freedom League Badges.
🃏 Lightning Rounds of our Scottish Suffragette Playing Card Games- complete w/ stickers for prizes!
🎪 & Our Suffragette Stall where we chatted about alllll things Scottish Suffragettes, Rent Strikers and Changemakers.

It was an amazing — and very busy — day! We had the best time chatting with the young women of the future about the fantastic, trailblazing women of their past.

If you have an event with girls, or young women, coming up & would like to hire Protests and Suffragettes to bring along our Suffragette Stall or Activities- get in touch!

Teresa Billington- Greig, born 15th October 1876, was a writer, suffragette and one of the founders of the Women’s Freedom League, which donned the slogan: ‘DARE TO BE FREE’

A runaway, who rejected her family’s religion— TBG had a belief in equal rights, and wasn’t afraid to use her voice, which made her a powerful organiser. She played an important role in drumming up support for the WFL in Scotland, where her oratory impressed local activists Helen Fraser and Janie Allan.

She was also a talented writer, working as a freelance journalist in her later life and publishing two books : The Militant Suffrage Movement (1911), which contained criticism of suffragettes’ tactics, and The Consumer in Revolt (1912), which explored links between consumerism and feminism.

These are just a few of the many reasons we love TBG here at Protests and Suffragettes, and why she has been the inspiration behind so much of our new merch! A few months ago, we began screen printing our brand-new ‘Rebel’ totes; stamped with an incredible quote said about Teresa Billington-Greig in 1910.

We’ve been working hard to create more of these beautiful totes, and THIS WEEKEND is your chance to get your hands on one, as we’re taking them to @yardworksglasgow in Glasgow! Grab yourself a ticket and come on down to see us & the P&S Pop-up— Annnnnnddddd, to grab your own ‘Rebel’ tote!

We can’t wait to see you there! 💥

🚀 Patreon Gathering on 30 May 10-11am 🚀

Join us as we explore the history of the 1996 Kinning Park Complex Community Sit-In. We'll share historical images of KPC when it was a school, and from the Sit-In when a group of local women and young families demanded that the building should stay open – and be given to the community.

"We have to try and change things, and we have to do it... from a grass roots level."

🗣 We have an oral history interview from Helen Kyle, one of the activists involved in the Sit-In. Helen's background was in community development and she knew how to organise, so when the Town Council announced the building would be shut and would no longer be a community centre, she sprang into action. She talked to single mothers who relied on the after school club, and the people who attended classes at KPC, and invited them to meetings. The day before the building was to be locked, they organised a rota and people did 8 hour shifts throughout the day. The sit-in lasted for 55 days, and the building has been in community hands ever since!

🙌 We'll also be hearing from a special guest, Ren Clark, KPC's Events and Volunteer Coordinator. They'll be talking about KPC's present, as well as its history, and the current Anniversary Celebrations they've been involved in organising.

💥 Don't miss out on all this goodness – join our Community Champion Tier today for just £5 per month. Support our work, and join the conversation!

On this week as part of our 30th anniversary project! 💛 18th-24th of May

We’ve loved welcoming new and old faces to KPC over the last fortnight, and we can’t wait to see more of you!
