Solidarity with #women of #Palestine
w #Trans #Indigenous #Black & #Immigrant women
btw I contacted #Tacoma #EvergreenResistance organizers to ask why #BlackWomen weren't mentioned on the poster
The group mod thanked me for pointing it out & sd the poster was the product of a coalition including Tacoma DSA, Tacoma Partisans, FRSO, Pierce County Immigration Alliance, Climate Alliance of South Sound, JVP Veterans for Peace, & others
(continued...)
The mod agreed that this kind of omission is EXACTLY how we got where we are - antiblack #racism is the bedrock on which USian #Fascism is built. She also agreed that Black Women have been the vanguard in the struggle for #Equity in the US
She expressed shame & sorrow. She let me know she has screenshotted the conversation and sent to organizers. I'll let y'all know what comes back
Ytpipo gotta keep shining light on each other's blindspots. #antiracism is sine qua non of #Antifascism
@PeachMcD @tacoma I went to the event (some) of these same groups organized on inaguration day. Left when they asked for donations via cash app. I was ready to hand over real cash but I dont have a smartphone and if I did I'm not fool enough to bring one to a protest. I read them as well meaning but disorganized and not all pulling in the same direction. This makes it easy to have blind spots like the one you thankfully pointed out.
