RT @SpunOut: Johnny, a young Traveller, shares his story of living in homeless accommodation and why it's so important to build new sites or group housing to allow Travellers to live within their community where there is a good sense of Traveller identity and belonging. #TravellerPrideWeek

This Model barrel top wagon, was made by members of the Hutchinson family in Tipperary at least 40 years ago. The wagon was the traditional home of nomadic Irish Traveller families. #TravellerPrideWeek

This week is #TravellerPrideWeek, which is a good time to expand the information we have on Travellers rights campaigns!

This week is #TravellerPrideWeek, which seems like a good time to expand the information we have on Travellers rights in the Irish Left Archive.

Unfortunately, we only have one issue of Pavee, and a handful of articles in other publications, on Travellers rights campaigns. If anyone has documents they could contribute, we'd be delighted to hear from you!

Happy #travellerprideweek

Happy Traveller Pride week to all my traveller friends. For everyone else it’s a time to listen, educate ourselves and advocate for equality for all. #Travellerprideweek

Humbled to be nominated for a #TravellerPride award tomorrow under the intersectionality category for my #CelebrateAutisticTravellers campaign as a Traveller mother.
