Completely agree, I don't like celebrating the 4th and Thanksgiving personally either because of it's history. I just found it quite strange that all of the sudden people started protesting the 4th when their rights were being taking away, and not because they don't make sense as holidays to celebrate.

We cannot celebrate Independence Day when we as women just lost our own independence.

Boycott the 4th of July and turn it into a day of action for reproductive rights. We WILL take back our rights.

Our lives and liberty depend on it.

Homophobes and transphobes label the LGBT community as sexual predators while doing jack shit to stop actual predatory behavior that nearly every woman has experienced as a child.

Sylvia Rivera calling out gays and lesbians for their trans exclusion in 1973 at the Christopher Street Liberation Day rally (x)

I fucking hate that Tweet that's like "these women in Mexico tried to burn down the Presidential Palace and then a few days later the government gave in and legalized abortion," it's so insanely condescending for you as someone from the US to look at the (massive and militant!) Mexican feminist movement and their decades of life-threatening work and be like "they rioted once and then their problems were solved"

That's not what happened at all! The photo going around with that Tweet was taken at an International Women's Day protest, months before the Mexico City abortion protests! They didn't just show up one day! A national court ruling decriminalized abortion but it is still illegal in much of Mexico, and activists are still fighting for it right now!
