Copa Luraecia
by Sensi Mclean 17 May '23

17 May '23

The Cowgirls have voted not to participate in Copa Lucreacia it is inconsistent with our foundational principles, including support for women’s rights, for LGBTQ rights and for political rights more broadly. 1. The Ortega regime in power has been condemned by the UN, various human rights organisations (including some that are not close to the US) for extensive human rights violations and prosecution of political opponents, including feminist/women’s organisations, student organisations and old Sandinistas that have denounced the Ortega regime. Left wing, progressive governments in the region – Chile, Argentina - have also condemned the Ortega regime. 2.On women’s rights, Ortega has waged a war against feminists and outlawed even therapeutic abortion in a bid to buy the support of the Catholic church. Whether some of these feminist groups are bourgeoisies or not is irrelevant, since the attack on reproductive rights mostly affects poor women who cannot afford to go abroad and are forced into dangerous illegal abortions. 3. The Copa Lucrecia organisers have argued in response to previous Cowgirls questions that the tournament raises funds for Nicaraguan organisations and we shouldn’t boycott it. But the Nicaraguan government has repeatedly used photos from the tournament to argue that UK progressive circles continue to support it, so even if we do not take photos with the Nicaraguan ambassador (our compromise last year), we can end up participating in the legitimation of an authoritarian conservative regime simply by participating. We have agreed that our participation in Copa Lucrecia is inconsistent with Cowgirls/Cowboys stance on Palestine or recently, on Qatar. We can't ignore the harsh realities of an authoritarian conservative regime or hope that our participation will not be instrumentalised. Thank you, Dana, for support with the above. THIS MEANS WE ARE NOT ATTENDING THE Copa Luraecia Tournament on the 21st of May. Social secretaries are working hard on an alternative. Information will be shared on what the alternative is REAL soon. Regards Cow-mitee

Statement about incident at training on 04/05/23
by Hannah Popham 11 May '23

11 May '23

Dear Cowgirls, On 4/5/23 there was an incident at training. Some committee members were present, and immediately informed the other committee members of the nature of the incident. For the sake of transparency, the committee wanted to let you know how the incident was managed. We quickly agreed to have an emergency committee meeting on 8/5/23. There was some debate about whether this incident should be managed solely by the two co-chairs, or by the whole committee. Ultimately, it was decided that diversity of thought from the whole committee would be helpful. Before the meeting, the committee asked for written accounts of the incident from the main parties involved, and from people considered to be neutral witnesses. A number of people also provided a statement of their own volition. These were read by the committee before the meeting, in addition to the club constitution and the FA coaches code of conduct. It was clear that there were many different perspectives to what happened. The committee met for 90 minutes on 8/5/23. Present were: Hannah (co-chair), Sensi (co-chair), Peta (vice chair), Lizzie (secretary), Isy (treasurer), Ev (social sec), Rona (social sec), Jo (social sec). We discussed that while many people were involved in the incident, two were close to a physical altercation, and therefore this was the main focus of the meeting. We tried our utmost to keep every single persons’ wellbeing at the heart of the conversation, but also acknowledged that we as a committee have a duty of care to ensure that training is a safe space for everyone, and therefore felt it was important to treat this incident as a serious matter. After much discussion, the committee agreed that the two main parties would be asked to take a 2 week “cooling off period” in which they would not attend training or games. In that period, they would have the opportunity to discuss the incident with the co-chairs, and also were given a contact within the committee to reach out to for support. Additionally, we recommended that both parties meet to clear the air if they were comfortable to do so. The committee agree unanimously that the conduct on 4/5/23 was unacceptable, and not within the ethos of our club. However, it became clear that there had been some brewing tensions that fed into this incident. This has highlighted the need for a more clear method for members to communicate concerns and feedback with the committee, and a more thorough process for feedback and concerns to be addressed. This will be discussed at the upcoming QGM. The Committee.

Fw: Today's action for Palestine: No Eurovision Party with Apartheid
by Susannah Mallaghan 09 May '23

09 May '23

Quick action to email the European Broadcasting Union and to tell it to suspend Israel from the contest. Not only has the European Broadcasting Union refused to listen to Palestinians – but it’s been complicit in covering up Israel’s crimes. This year’s pre-Eurovision party “Israel Calling” saw participants plant trees on top of ethnically cleansed Palestinian villages, whose displaced residents are barred by Israel from returning. It is shameful that a Eurovision Party took place on stolen land, whose indigenous owners are prevented from returning. ________________________________ From: Lewis, Palestine Solidarity Campaign <Do-Not-Reply(a)palestinecampaign.org> Sent: 08 May 2023 12:01 To: Susannah <scruffylittlevera(a)hotmail.co.uk> Subject: Today's action for Palestine: No Eurovision Party with Apartheid Tell Eurovision to suspend ties with apartheid Israel View this email in your browser<https://mailchi.mp/palestinecampaign.org/1stdayofactionforpalestine?e=d25ab…> [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/39b479575f6b893766d815ffd/images/50c69ab3-e80…] Dear Susannah, As we lead up to the national march in London on 13 May we are asking you to take action each day in a week of action for Palestine. Here’s what you can do today: Tomorrow, the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest will be taking place in Liverpool. The contest should be a space for joyful celebration. But Eurovision's organisers refuse to distance the contest from Israel's grave violations of Palestinian rights. There should be no Eurovision party that includes Israeli apartheid. Can you email the European Broadcasting Union and to tell it to suspend Israel from the contest? Email the European Broadcasting Union<https://palestinecampaign.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=39b479575f6b89…> If you’re in Merseyside, Liverpool Friends of Palestine are organising a range of events against apartheid Israel’s inclusion in the event, including a protest tomorrow. Can you join? Join protests in Liverpool<https://palestinecampaign.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=39b479575f6b89…> The European Broadcasting Union continues to allow Israel to take part in the contest, despite Israel’s decades-long regime of oppression against the Palestinian people. Inspired by the South African anti-apartheid struggle, Palestinians have called on organisers of cultural events to refuse ties with Israel while it continues to deny them their basic rights. Not only has the European Broadcasting Union refused to listen to Palestinians – but it’s been complicit in covering up Israel’s crimes. This year’s pre-Eurovision party “Israel Calling” saw participants plant trees on top of ethnically cleansed Palestinian villages, whose displaced residents are barred by Israel from returning. It is shameful that a Eurovision Party took place on stolen land, whose indigenous owners are prevented from returning. Its vital we send the European Broadcasting Union a clear message – don’t party with Israeli apartheid. Email the EBU<https://palestinecampaign.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=39b479575f6b89…> Thanks for taking action and stay tuned for tomorrow’s notice.
