1. My name is Helen Martinicca.

2. Equality is the right of everyone. I’m sick of politics that exclude and threaten what should be basic rights. Unless the future is inclusive everyone is the poorer for it.

3. I’m a disabled Scientist and Engineer in full-time work and I’m angry. I have EDDS Joint Hypermobility and Fibromyalgia which limits my mobility and energy. I am a member of the Women’s Equality Party and if I were able to, I would join them in marching in Southampton, UK.

4. Done.
