Existing without expectation shouldn't be a radical act, but for the asexual community in Staffordshire, the pressure to "fit the script" is everywhere. 💜✨

Attraction isn't a requirement for belonging, yet those on the asexual spectrum are often pressured to justify their personal experiences to a world that doesn't always "get" it. Project 93 is launching Ace Week by challenging the social norms that make people feel "broken" for simply being themselves. Whether you are asexual, demisexual, or anywhere on the spectrum, you deserve a county that values your autonomy and respects your path without requiring a public explanation. We are advocating for a Staffordshire that recognises your boundaries as absolute, ensuring that local health and social services move away from outdated assumptions and towards genuine, identity-led respect.

October is Black History Month, and we believe that your wellness is a form of justice. 🩸⚖️

Health equity is a right for all, yet we must confront the reality that Black African and Caribbean communities in the UK still face significantly higher rates of late HIV diagnosis. Project 93 is spotlighting this disparity because everyone in Staffordshire deserves access to testing and care that is free from racial and identity-based bias. We are advocating for local health services that are proactive in reaching every community, ensuring that life-saving information and treatment are accessible to everyone.

We are calling for an end to the "postcode lottery" of HIV care. Recognising the intersectional barriers that prevent Black residents from accessing early testing is the first step toward true health justice. We believe that when our county prioritises inclusive and affirming healthcare, we build a safer and healthier future for every resident.

We don't need a massive philosophical debate to show basic manners. 🏷️💬

Today is International Pronouns Day, and we’re keeping the conversation incredibly simple. Using the name and pronouns someone asks you to use isn't a political statement or a complex puzzle—it’s just standard decency. It's about seeing people as they are.

You are the only authority on your own life, and you get to decide how the world addresses you. Let’s look out for one another and keep Staffordshire a place where everyone can exist without having to constantly defend their baseline respect.

October is Black History Month and we are celebrating modern pioneers. 🏳️‍🌈✊🏾

Advocacy is a collective effort, a principle that Lady Phyll turned into reality when she co-founded UK Black Pride in 2005. Her journey from a small bus trip to Europe's largest celebration for Black and Brown q***r people shows why the LGBTQ+ community needs spaces that specifically protect intersectional identities. Project 93 is channelling this legacy to ensure that our local advocacy in Staffordshire is always inclusive, demanding that every public service in our county is safe for Black LGBTQ+ people.

On this day in 1970, a small meeting at the London School of Economics changed history forever. ✊🏳️‍🌈

It was the very first meeting of the UK Gay Liberation Front (GLF). They rejected the old idea of asking politely for "tolerance" from a system that ignored them. Instead, they demanded the right to live openly on their own terms.

They moved the conversation from quiet courtrooms to the streets, proving that when a community takes control of its own story, the world is forced to listen. In Staffordshire, we carry that same unshakeable belief: our presence is a permanent fact, and our dignity is not up for negotiation.

Today is National Coming Out Day. 🏳️‍🌈🚪

Sing it loud and proud, just as Tom Robinson did in 1978 with "Glad to Be Gay," an anthem that reminded the LGBTQ+ community that our truth is our greatest strength even in the face of hostility. Project 93 is reclaiming this day to discuss the right to live authentically and safely in Staffordshire. While "coming out" is a deeply personal choice that must prioritise safety, we are working to build a county where the LGBTQ+ community no longer has to fear discrimination when they choose to be seen.

Today is World Mental Health Day. 🧠🫂

Your peace is worth protecting, but we know that the LGBTQ+ community faces disproportionate levels of anxiety and depression due to persistent minority stress. Project 93 is advocating for mental health services in Staffordshire that are specifically trained in identity-competent care, ensuring that your life experiences are understood without judgment. You deserve support that understands your journey and provides an affirming space where your identity is seen as a source of strength, not a barrier to your recovery.

Today is International Le***an Day. 🏳️‍🌈✨

The right to be heard cannot be silenced, a truth famously demonstrated on 23 May 1988 when a group of le***an activists invaded a live BBC news broadcast to protest the introduction of Section 28. Project 93 is channelling that same spirit of bold, collective visibility to celebrate le***ans as a vital part of the LGBTQ+ community across Staffordshire. We are advocating for a county where every le***an feels empowered to live their truth openly, ensuring their voices are heard and their contributions are valued throughout the year.

Shadowbanning is a form of silence that isolates our community from life-saving connection. 📱🚫

Project 93 is addressing the digital bias that treats LGBTQ+ language as "sensitive" or "inappropriate," effectively hiding our advocacy from those in Staffordshire who need it most. This digital erasure isn't just a technical glitch; it's a barrier to safety and support. We are demanding transparent digital rights where our identities are never used as a trigger for suppression, ensuring that everyone in our county can access a visible and vocal q***r community online.
